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.
"We thoroughly evaluated our options, and
Unimarket's seamless connectivity to Ellucian Banner was a key
decision factor," said Marcie
Nicastro, Director of Procurement at St. John Fisher
University.
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."
