Overall Satisfaction with Axiom Software (formerly Axiom EPM)

Axiom is currently the budget, long-range forecast, and in-year planning tool used by our Campus. The budget module encompasses both labor and non-labor. There is also a tuition planning module that we are still testing. I also used Axiom at my previous institution where all areas were in one module. It is a sophisticated tool that can be very helpful in budget planning, financial monitoring, and forecasting processes.

I believe Axiom is a great tool for budgeting and financial monitoring. Significant client participation is critical to build the tool for it's users. Sometimes the customization of the product can get out hand, too much customization can become confusing and difficult to implement and train users. Our campus received "test scripts" that, in my opinion were not helpful.
