Unimarket's Seamless Integration with Ellucian Banner ERP Key to Decision
ANNAPOLIS, Md., July 16, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Unimarket, a global provider of spend management and e-procurement solutions, today announced that St. John Fisher University has chosen Unimarket as its preferred spend management platform. This decision marks a pivotal step in transforming St. John Fisher's source-to-pay processes to enhance operational efficiency, reduce costs, and streamline procurement across the entire institution.
During the vendor evaluation process, St. John Fisher University considered several critical factors, including Unimarket's native integration with Ellucian Banner's ERP system, the ease of transitioning stakeholders to a shared platform, and the company's commitment to supporting implementation and ongoing customer support.
"The decision to select Unimarket was a slam dunk because our needs aligned perfectly with their capabilities and strengths," said Marcie Nicastro, Director of Procurement at St. John Fisher University. "We thoroughly evaluated our options, and Unimarket's seamless connectivity to Ellucian Banner was a key decision factor. The feedback we received from Unimarket's existing customers reinforced our choice."
Previously, the procurement of goods and services across the organization was decentralized. Unimarket's Marketplace solution will allow the University to consolidate suppliers based on pre-negotiated consortium contracts and provide stakeholders with an easy-to-use, intuitive buying experience for procuring pre-approved commodities, goods, and services.
"With the consolidation of buying on Unimarket's Spend Management platform, we will not only benefit from contract purchasing at the lowest negotiated costs, but for the first time, we will have real-time visibility into our organizational spend and budget adherence right at our fingertips," said Nicastro.
"College and university business officers are seeking solutions to address a critical challenge—achieving real-time visibility and control over organizational spending," stated Phil Kenney, Chief Executive Officer of Unimarket. "Our industry leading Spend Management software equips many of the nation's leading higher education institutions with the tools to enforce budget discipline, ensure compliance with contract purchases, prevent unauthorized spending, and achieve significant cost savings."
