Optimizing Spend Analytics in Higher Education

Background

This $4B publicly traded company is an innovative provider of higher education programs. The company offers educational programs and services both on-line and on-campus at the undergraduate, graduate and doctoral levels through its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Due to its innovation and explosive growth, the company has become one of the most influential companies in the education sector - and world – today.

In an effort to improve its spend containment capabilities, the company embarked on a purchasing transformation process. This undertaking was designed to transform "legacy purchasing" to a "strategic sourcing" organization by building internal expertise and implementing procure-to-pay (P2P) automation using next-generation spend management technology.
