Modernizing Estimating, Project Management, Finance, Procurement, HR, and Payroll: An Integrated Solution for Ontario Utilities and LDCs

On October 29, 2022, Quadra, BDO, and DayForce co-hosted an exclusive webinar for Ontario utilities, particularly targeting Local Distribution Companies (LDCs) navigating the shift from legacy systems like Microsoft Dynamics GP to more advanced, cloud-based platforms. This shift aligns with Microsoft’s end-of-life announcement for Dynamics GP, prompting utilities to explore more modern, efficient software solutions.

The webinar introduced an integrated approach leveraging BDO’s expertise in financial solutions, Quadra’s specialized job cost estimating and project management tools, and DayForce’s robust human capital management (HCM) platform. BDO’s Fixed Asset Auto Creator streamlines asset management within Dynamics 365 Business Central (BC), while Quadra integrates seamlessly with ERP systems to optimize job costing, estimating, and budget management. DayForce enhances workforce management by consolidating payroll, HR, and benefits into a single AI-powered platform.

Together, these tools help utilities improve operational efficiency, manage projects more effectively, and maintain real-time budget oversight. By modernizing processes, Ontario utilities can minimize the disruptions associated with transitioning from legacy systems, streamline financial management, and empower their workforce with advanced HR capabilities. This session also provided insights into real-world case studies and gave attendees an opportunity to address specific questions with the expert panel.
