Management

Since 1974, the Ramacrisna Institute has invested in improving its administrative and financial processes. In 2008, Ramacrisna, in partnership with the Dom Cabral Foundation, joined the PDV – Partnerships with Social Organizations program to enhance the institution’s management strategies, develop a systemic view of governance, and train managers in initiatives and the implementation of internal management and process improvements, as well as the consolidation of self-sustainability.

The institute uses the TOTVS ERP system, which integrates the entire administrative process, organizes the institution, and provides real-time performance information necessary for fast and objective decision-making. It also employs an XML import system for DANFE issued in the name of Ramacrisna by suppliers, automatically integrating the invoices of transactions into the ERP system.

Data from the management system is stored in the cloud, allowing for monitoring of social services and the Ramacrisna archive, ensuring greater security and accuracy. The institute invests in infrastructure to improve the quality of the internet and the equipment used for transmitting online classes. It provides VPN access to control the work of external collaborators and those working from home.

The partnership with the Dom Cabral Foundation, ranked as one of the top ten business schools in the world and number one in Latin America by the Financial Times, enhances the institution’s management strategies. The PDV ‘Partnership with Social Organizations’ is based on the collaborative construction of knowledge through the exchange of experiences between organizations, always with the in-person guidance of FDC professors. The continuous improvement of the accounting system has been a constant throughout the organization’s history.
