Case Study: Portland State University achieves 70% increase in platform spend and 75% more transactions with ESM Solutions

Portland State sticks with ESM for three more years

Portland State University sought to automate procurement and better track and guide institutional spend while increasing use of preferred vendors and maximizing P-card rebates. To meet those goals it continued with ESM Solutions' Spend Management solution, which provides an online shopping portal, negotiated-contract visibility, and single sign-on access.

ESM Solutions implemented its intuitive, e-commerce–style platform to automate procurement workflows and simplify user adoption; as a result Portland State grew P-card use, captured more rebates, and saw a 70% increase in total spend through the platform and a 75% jump in transactions between 2016 and 2017. The measurable gains led Portland State University to renew its relationship with ESM Solutions for an additional three years.
