Discover our Modules

LGI Financial is a suite of complementary financial modules that consolidate the financial and administrative information needed to effectively manage health facility budgets. Facilities can use these modules as needed to optimize the various steps of their financial workflows.

General Ledger Management

The General Ledger Management module gives users the flexibility to incorporate a complex administrative structure and ensure accurate entry of financial and statistical transactions in the general ledger. It facilitates the day-to-day management of financial statements by automating bank reconciliation processes and providing controlled access for mining statistical data.

Accounts Receivable

Electronic Documentation (EDM)

The EDM module automatically processes electronic and paper invoices using character recognition technology. Scanned invoices are sent to the appropriate processing or approval workflow, allowing users to integrate a digital authorization process and easily access scanned documents from accounts payable.

Project Management

The Project Management module enables managers and administrators to get an instant update on the status and progress of projects (fixed assets or other). Its project consultation and detailed reporting features simplify requests to funders. The dashboards give users real-time information on the status of their projects. The availability of real-time data and the drilling down to source transactions make it easier to manage the budget, commitments, and financial implementation of projects.

Budget

The Budget module can produce management and budget monitoring reports, as well as financial reports. These reports are visible on-screen and can be generated in hard copy, email, Excel, PDF, and HTML formats. Financial performance projection features are also available.

With this module, users can create an unlimited number of simple or secondary budget scenarios to support decentralized budgeting and required attendance budgeting. This module has a flexible administration system for secure user profile management.

Accounts Payable

The Accounts Payable module processes invoices and remittances (taxes, related parties, federal and provincial self-assessments). It issues payments through electronic funds transfer and electronic cheque deposits via an interface connected to financial institutions, including foreign currencies. All transactions are carried out in accordance with tax compensation laws. The module enables users to print cheques with electronic signatures and magnetic ink (MICR) to prevent potential fraud.

Fixed Asset Management and Centralization of Registers

This module simplifies and centralizes management of the fixed asset register, including new item creation, work-in-progress monitoring and depreciation and disposal calculations. It also facilitates financial reporting and can drill down to source transactions.

Web Budget (New)

The Web Budget module provides an enhanced, secure, flexible and fully web-based version of the Budget* module that can connect to payroll and HR systems to produce multiple financial performance, management and budget progress reports instantly and intuitively.

FAQ on the technological upgrade

  • LGI_Graphique finance_EN

What does the technological upgrade involve?

This is a two-phase upgrade that merges and optimizes the LGI Financial (FMS) and LGI Supply Chain (MMS) databases. This upgrade provides access to next-generation web products and many immediate enhancements. Ultimately, the goal is to help care teams and administrative staff better serve patients.

What are the benefits of upgrading LGI Financial and LGI Supply Chain?

A technology upgrade improves the speed and overall performance of the product, primarily by merging the databases.

The operation also implements the technology architecture required to move to a web management mode. This new architecture lets you use the Budget and Requisition Receipt modules in web mode, as well as any other web module to be developed in the future. Software updates can be done remotely instead of manually at each workstation. Lastly, the upgrade includes 180 improvements to the interface and features based on client feedback.

Simplified telework
The solution is accessible remotely and updates are easier to deploy to the client environment

Increased speed and performance
Merging the databases boosts system performance and speed

Access to future web modules
The new technology gives access to the Budget Web modules and other future web modules

Enhanced user experience
Users can benefit from more than 180 interface enhancements and new features

What are the steps of the technological upgrade?

  1. Project planning
    • Identification of key players
    • Implementation of schedule
  2. Preparatory work
    • Technical audit of the environment
    • Database adjustment for tests if required
    • Validation of technical prerequisites
  3. Testing period
    • Installation of test environment
    • Management of validation tests
    • Production release planning
  4. Production launch
    • Work in production
    • Start of production operations
    • Stabilization of environment
  5. Final adjustments

How long does the upgrade take?

The time required to complete the FMMS technology upgrade depends on several factors, including database complexity and resource availability. Take, for example, a hospital with some 5,000 employees that issues nearly 40,000 purchase orders each year: the upgrade was completed in three months.

While our teams are used to planning for this type of project, their capacity is demand-driven, so we suggest that you contact us for an idea of a potential timeline.
