Why does procurement still feel so inefficient, despite all the technology available today?
Recent survey data from U.S. higher education procurement professionals reveals a striking reality: 82% of procurement transactions still occur manually or outside established systems.
The consequences are significant: limited visibility into spend, duplicated vendor negotiations, compliance risks and lost savings opportunities. At the same time, growing financial pressure and declining enrollments are forcing institutions to rethink every dollar spent.
This white paper examines the root causes of these inefficiencies and the steps institutions can take to address it. Drawing from original research and survey data, the report outlines the operational and financial pressures shaping the procurement landscape and the centralized, end-to-end approach that improves oversight, standardizes approvals and supports smarter decision-making.
