University of New England Embarks on bold course with full Ellucian Spend Management Suite
The University of New England (UNE) has taken a significant step forward by adopting the full Ellucian Spend Management Suite, including Ellucian Purchase, Ellucian Source, Ellucian Supplier Management, Storeroom, and Contract capabilities.
With a combined enrollment of 8,281 students across three beautiful campuses and extensive online programs, UNE is committed to enhancing its educational and operational excellence.
UNE’s recent accolades, including recognition in U.S. News & World Report’s Best Colleges for 2024 and The Princeton Review’s Best Colleges for 2024, highlight its dedication to academic excellence and innovation.
The decision to implement the Ellucian Spend Management Suite aligns with UNE’s bold vision and commitment to six key priorities:
Exceptional Teaching and Collaborative Learning Experiences:
The solutions will support the university’s focus on delivering high-quality education by streamlining procurement processes, allowing faculty and staff to focus more on teaching and collaboration.
A Welcoming, Inclusive, and Vibrant Community:
By optimizing spend management, UNE can effectively allocate resources to initiatives that foster inclusivity and vibrancy within the university community, from a diverse selection of suppliers.
Engagement with Local, Regional, and Global Partners:
With enhanced supplier management capabilities, UNE can more effectively collaborate with partners, ensuring that procurement decisions align with the university’s strategic goals.
Foster A Strong, Sustainable Resource Base:
The comprehensive spend management tools will enable UNE to manage its resources more efficiently, contributing to the university’s financial sustainability and long-term growth.
As UNE embarks on this journey with Ellucian, the university is poised to realize its vision and achieve its strategic goals. The partnership with Ellucian marks a new era of innovation and efficiency, and we look forward to seeing the positive impact these solutions will have on the UNE community.
We’re excited to partner with the University of New England on this journey alongside our strategic partner, Ellucian, and look forward to witnessing the impact of this transformation!
