Auckland Philharmonia's financial harmony with Microsoft 365

CLIENT STORY ⋅ 3 MIN READ

Client Profile

Auckland Philharmonia is one of New Zealand’s leading arts organisations, performing more than 60 concerts each year and supporting thousands of young musicians through education and outreach.

As a nonprofit, they balance their artistic vision with the practical realities of funding and operations. Behind every performance is a dedicated team working hard to keep things running smoothly, both on stage and behind the scenes.

Challenge

Auckland Philharmonia needed a finance system that worked seamlessly. Like many nonprofits, they wanted to spend less time on admin and focus that time on more important tasks. But they also had to be careful with their budget.

Migrating financial systems can be overwhelming. Auckland Philharmonia wanted a partner who could make the process simple, smooth, and tailored to their needs.

“We've worked closely with XP since 2016 and they have provided very professional and efficient IT support for our nonprofit. From migrating our servers to the cloud to individual staff support, they have been professional, thorough and patient with any of our IT requirements."

Auckland Philharmonia New Zealand found XP’s approach both practical and supportive throughout the project.

“Their migration team also assisted our finance department in completing a successful migration of our accounting systems. The process was made easier with the expert support of their migration team through the entire process, including post migration support. Their understanding of the budget constraints of a charitable organisation has meant that they have also been able to provide IT solutions and recommendations that take these limitations into consideration. We look forward to continuing this successful partnership with XP.” - Pandora Freuan, GM, Auckland Philharmonia

With the migration complete and key systems now cloud-based, Auckland Philharmonia is well-positioned for a more connected and efficient future.
