| | | The Michigan State University (MSU) research university faced many challenges in managing its procurement processes. Its in-house purchasing system, which was running on an aging and soon-to-be obsolete mini computer, had limited expansion capabilities. MSU needed one integrated system to handle the electronic procurement of almost every commodity imaginable, while providing accurate inventory status. After evaluating a number of systems through a competitive bid process, MSU selected Procure+ because of its superior user interface and its ability to integrate inventory, accounts payable, and Web-based end user requisitioning. Procure+ tracks all of the information required by MSU to comply with local, state, and federal regulations. MSU can easily locate information from purchase orders, such as equipment and serial numbers; Procure+ also allow users to follow each order through the entire bid process.
"Procure+ streamlined our entire procurement system, enabling us to provide our customers with value, quality, and satisfaction. Expertise in web-based requisitions distinguishes ePlus from other solution providers in the market."

| | | RTI International was established in 1958 as the nonprofit Research Triangle Institute, the founding tenant of North Carolina's Research Triangle Park. RTI was founded as part of a larger effort to harness the intellectual capital of the area's three major universities -- North Carolina State University, University of North Carolina, and Duke University.
RTI implemented Procure+ enterprise-wide as a hosted solution to evolve its manual paper-based purchasing process to a strategic function that adds value through long-term contracting and wide-scale sourcing projects. Procure+ helped RTI realize a significant, measurable ROI, including a 70% reduction in cost per order and notable productivity enhancements.
