About the PSR agency
The Professional Services Review (PSR) Agency is a Commonwealth Agency in the Health portfolio. The Agency exists to provide administration and support services to the Director of PSR, PSR peer review Committees and the Determining Authority in performing their legislated functions under the Health Insurance Act 1973.
The Agency performs these roles under the Health Insurance Act 1973, the Public Service Act 1999 and the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013.
To accomplish this, PSR has made significant investments in modern technologies including Dynamics 365 Business Central and has a view to continue to modernise and consolidate around Microsoft Business Applications where practical to keep productivity high and costs of ownership low.

Why upgrade from Dynamics GP to Business Central?
Some of the main reasons Dynamics GP clients are transitioning to Dynamics 365 Business Central include:
Dynamics GP did not fit in with PSR’s overall strategy of maintaining pace with modern finance systems.
Business challenge
PSR was using Microsoft Dynamics GP, and for the most part, it was working fine for them from a functionality perspective. The issue they were finding, though, was that Dynamics GP did not fit in with their overall strategy of maintaining pace with modern finance systems.
They were aware of the investments Microsoft was making into Dynamics 365 Business Central and capitalised on incentives to move to Business Central. Once PSR made the decision to evaluate upgrade options, and after considering a number of options, the decision was made to move to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.
PSR knew that whatever solution they went with, it had to meet their vision of conducting its business efficiently and accurately, supporting the processes and the people charged with running PSR and continue to be a model Public Service Agency by meeting the expectations of the Government and the Australian public and demonstrating the principles of good governance. It also had to work with the other solutions they used to run their operations.


Technology solution
PSR worked with Artis Group to convert and reconcile historical data, while still processing current transactions in Dynamics GP. After the historical data reconciled, they brought the most recent months’ data in and were able to reconcile that as well. Once they had confidence that these processes were successful, they closed their first month in Business Central. They found the User Interface in Business Central very intuitive.
Now that they had a comfort level with the transactions, they turned their full attention to reporting. In GP, PSR had generated trial balance reports showing month end balances, and trial balance detail showing all posted transactions. They also needed Monthly Income Statements, Statement of Financial Condition, and Budget vs. Actual in two different formats. They realised the out of the box reporting options in Business Central were not going to meet their needs and worked with Artis Group to implement Jet Reports.
Other enhancements
There were also other compelling productivity enhancements that the project introduced:

Conclusion
By working with Artis Group, PSR was able to have an intuitive and easy to use financial management system that worked with their other Microsoft products. Artis Group configured and implemented Jet Reports so that reporting formatted correctly without cumbersome modifications. And having the guidance of an organisation that had supported them on Dynamics GP meant they were comfortable with the staff and did not have to bring anyone up to speed on how they operated.
As for working with Artis Group, PSR found the consulting staff to be very responsive, professional and attentive.
