The Faculty Student Association (FSA) at Stony Brook University is a non-profit organization that provides a wide range of services to the students, faculty, and staff. As the organization grew, so did the complexities of their financial and accounting processes. FSA had been using Oracle Fusion Financial Cloud Applications for a few years but was struggling to keep up with the rapid changes and updates in the software. To streamline their finance and accounting-related processes, FSA approached GlobalVox, a trusted Oracle Cloud Applications managed service provider.
