According to a 2003 survey by Statistics Canada, literacy skills in the province of Saskatchewan are among the highest in Canada. Clearly, education is a top priority in the province, thanks in part to the efforts of provincial government department Saskatchewan Learning. The provincial government funds about 60 per cent of education in the province, and school divisions provide the remainder through their local tax base. Without a common financial management system in place, Saskatchewan Learning had no easy way to assemble data and reports. This hindered information sharing across the 82 school divisions. Saskatchewan Learning enlisted the aid of Open Door Technology to deploy the Education Suite, which is based on Microsoft Dynamics NAV, formerly Microsoft Business Solutions - Navision.
