Case Study: University of Central Missouri achieves rapid procurement efficiency and cost savings with JAGGAER

Revolutionizing Procurement at the University of Central Missouri

The University of Central Missouri faced rising expenses, a stagnant budget and a fragmented procurement environment with multiple purchasing methods, limited spend control and three buyers overwhelmed by thousands of purchase orders. To move procurement from tactical to strategic, UCM selected the HigherMarkets for Banner Express solution from JAGGAER to automate purchasing and centralize supplier management.

JAGGAER implemented HigherMarkets for Banner Express in just 16 weeks, and in the first quarter 85% of purchase orders were processed the same day or within one day. The solution delivered immediate discounts and ROI on office supplies and scientific equipment, improved recordkeeping and comparison shopping, and gave UCM greater negotiating power—results that earned JAGGAER’s customer award for fastest implementation.
