Information Management by Design

For over 25 years, universities and research institutions have depended on the information reported by Priority Software BA.

With BA, you get the highest quality area management system available with a wealth of powerful features at an extremely reasonable price. Whether you are a one person office in need of a tool to empower you over your many tasks or an area administrator looking for a cohesive solution for your staff, BA is the answer.

Financial Management / Budget Forecasting

BA is not a shadow accounting system. It is your accounting system. BA is a financial management tool that allows you to budget, monitor, and forecast all your monies including state, federal, income, contract and grant dollars. Once a month, the BA database is reconciled with your institution’s financial system using the Reconciliation Wizard. One of the benefits of reconciling is that in doing so, electronic versions of the month-end closing documents are created and made accessible via the web. These reports are then instantly available to you or your faculty whenever you should need to view them. As an added bonus, much of the reconciliation process has been automated and reduced to simple mouse clicks.
