RCSA Unifies Financial Operations with Custom Cloud Platform
RCSA Unifies Financial Operations with Custom Cloud Platform
Challenge
RCSA (Red de Colegios Semper Altius), a global network of bilingual Catholic schools across 19 countries, faced mounting complexity in financial management:
Fragmented systems across dozens of institutions
Duplicated records and manual workflows
Delays in budget approvals and decision-making
Limited visibility into real-time financial data
The finance team needed a centralized, automated solution that could scale across the network and align with RCSA’s internal processes.
Solution
RCSA partnered with Ensitech to co-develop a cloud-based Financial Management Platform (FMP) using Microsoft Azure and Power Platform tools. Key components included:
Data integration via Azure Data Factory and Logic Apps
Centralized data model in Azure SQL Server for reporting and APIs
Interactive app for budgeting, forecasting, MPY, and CAPEX
Automated approval workflows to eliminate bottlenecks
Real-time dashboards powered by Power BI
Role-based access control using Azure Security Groups
The platform was designed collaboratively, with deep alignment to RCSA’s operational structure and school network dynamics.
Results
Enabled faster, more strategic decision-making with real-time data
Reduced manual errors and duplicated records through automation
Improved operational efficiency across finance, HR, IT, and leadership
Strengthened transparency and control with robust reporting tools
Achieved high user adoption—even among initially hesitant teams
Sparked demand for additional modules before they were announce
