From higher education and government, to healthcare and life sciences, today’s academic and research-intensive institutions face unique challenges to reduce operating costs and bring more spend under management.

Your procurement efforts may be limited to managing and enabling multiple suppliers or struggling to persuade users to buy on-contract. Systems are typically disjointed, preventing your institution from realizing the greater benefits of e-procurement - efficiency, cost-savings and transparency.

E&I’s new competitively awarded contract with SciQuest delivers a familiar, user-friendly online shopping experience including a multi-vendor e-commerce platform to meet all of your institutional needs. Rather than simply managing transactions, procurement can drive enterprise spend management and advance its mission.

SciQuest’s on-demand procurement software and the SciQuest Supplier Network deliver a critical mass of suppliers in one centralized hub — so your staff gets exactly what they need through an easy-to-use procurement system. As system usage increases, you get more data of higher quality. Armed with detailed spend data, you can improve your e-procurement efforts — generating sustainable savings for the future.

• Competitively awarded national contract
