Case Study: Central Community College reduces approval time with ESM Solutions

Central community college press fast forward on digital procurement with ellucian spend management

Central Community College needed to replace paper-based purchasing processes that were costly and slow. Manual approvals took 2-4 weeks, hard copies had to be mailed between campuses, and the college also needed a solution that would integrate with its Ellucian Colleague Finance system and work stand alone if needed.

Central Community College chose ESM Solutions’ Ellucian Purchase to modernize procurement and automate requisitions, purchase orders, and reporting. The college eliminated paper-based requirements, reduced approval time to 10 minutes from 2 hours, gained online access for staff working from any location, and shortened a board report process from two to three days to 20 minutes.
