Case Study: The Carter Center streamlines procurement and sourcing in five months with ESM Solutions

Carter Center quickly deploys ESM’s eProcurement, Sourcing solutions

The Carter Center, the Atlanta-based nonprofit founded by Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter, needed to automate procurement and sourcing across its global operations to improve spend visibility and reduce costs. To address this challenge, The Carter Center engaged ESM Solutions and selected its spend-management products, deploying ESM Purchase and ESM Sourcing to centralize purchasing, approved vendors and solicitation activities.

ESM Solutions implemented and launched ESM Purchase and ESM Sourcing in just five months, putting staff in more than a dozen countries on the platform so they can shop negotiated contracts, automate bids and quotes, and gain better visibility into spend. The rapid deployment has already improved supplier collaboration and positioned The Carter Center to cut costs and boost productivity, with ESM Solutions beginning contract management implementation this spring to automate the full contract lifecycle.
