"Synario offers a robust, powerful modeling tool, guided by a highly qualified team of experts."

5/5

What do you like best about Synario?

The long-range planning model is a living document that is a key to keeping our institution on the path we've established in our new strategic plan. It is robust and powerful that ties together years of audited financial statements, lending credibility to the planning process. Great sensitivity and stress testing capabilities, with infinite flexibility to model different dimensions of our financial picture. We worked with a highly qualified team who guided a very successful implementation. Responsive, knowledgeable and strong trainers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Synario?

The tool, while tricky to learn, is supported by a responsive team who offers myriad training resources and has been flexible with our needs and timeline. We have benefited from hands-on training sessions, webinars, and the user group community platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Synario solving and how is that benefiting you?

In the LRP model, we have established rolling 5-year financial targets aligned with our strategic plan, our capital campaign goals and capital improvement plans. Each year, we are able to stress test multiyear enrollment scenarios, adjust to changes, make sound planning decisions and demonstrate our ability to deliver on our commitments. Being able to model changes in our assumptions and illustrate the relationships between the endowment, operational cashflow, debt and cash reserves has been invaluable to building trust with our board, donors and the broader community.
