Higher Education
Procure the resources your institution needs to thrive
In higher education, purchasing is more than just a series of transactions and approvals. While controlling cost remains a priority, aligning suppliers and purchasing with institutional values, promoting brand safety, providing transparency and policy compliance are emerging as equally important.
To keep pace, colleges and universities must transform procurement away from transaction-based processes to trusted, integrated and personalized experiences that connect everyone with the resources they need to power education.
