Why Use Projection-Pro?

Creating an accurate multiyear projection can be daunting and overwhelming. Changes to the number of SACS account codes and resource codes have resulted in an average of more than 80 individual resources that require balancing at each reporting period. Projection-Pro is a free, web-based tool that streamlines and simplifies that process to save you time while giving you quality projections that include a three-year view of each resource and can import state-level information such as statutory COLA, historical student enrollment, ADA data, and more.

Projection-Pro lets you view relevant data from various perspectives, create multiple possible projections based on different assumptions and scenarios, make adjustments on the fly as updated data becomes available, and stay on track. Best of all, the software is compatible with SACS Web, which means you can import your cash flow and multiyear projection directly into SACS Web from Projection-Pro.
