Professionally, they’ve helped me tremendously with broadening my perspective to different procurement practices in higher ed. E&I focuses on higher education, they know higher education, and they know what we do - that’s the benefit of working with E&I.

The value of E&I to us, especially as a small institution, is that we're leveraging the buying power of over 6,000 colleges and universities…it definitely has helped us be able to get the most out of our purchasing dollars.

I was looking for a cooperative that could be a one-stop-shop and E&I delivers. As our sole partner in business, the relationship continues to grow and prosper. We are so thankful to be a part of this large network.

E&I has been beneficial to our savings targets. Through leveraging the combined spend of the members, E&I obtains greater discounts than our organization could achieve on our own.

It was extremely gratifying for E&I to proactively reach out to us to bring a diverse supplier to the table.
