Horsham, PA, June 25, 2009. Like many Universities these days, Suffolk University strives to obtain the maximum value for each dollar of expenditure. For the Suffolk University Business Office, this means simplifying and streamlining the administrative process while maintaining necessary controls over the expenditure of funds. This search for operations improvement led the University to Mercury Commerce Solutions™, a market leader in online procurement solutions for public sector organizations and higher education institutions.
As the University analyzed their purchasing operations, they came to the conclusion that current systems and processes did not meet their future requirements. Suffolk University needed a new direction for purchasing and concluded that Mercury Commerce was the right provider.
Dan Corazzi, President of Mercury Commerce commented on the University’s operations improvement initiative. “We were able to provide an integrated solution that met Suffolk University’s current and future requirements. We are very pleased to be working with a sophisticated purchasing organization like Suffolk University.”
The University has licensed Mercury Commerce Solutions’ easyPurchase™ Enterprise integrated with their Datatel Colleague© financial accounting system, along with Mercury Commerce Sourcing Solutions for bidding and quoting. With this implementation, the Business Office will automate their procurement operations while users across the University will have desktop web access to the purchasing application.
Suffolk University (www.suffolk.edu), like its home city of Boston, is alive with intellectual and cultural vigor. Here the emphasis is on teaching, scholarship, and community. The University offers undergraduate and graduate degrees in more than 70 areas of study through its College of Arts and Sciences, Sawyer Business School, and Law School. With campuses on three continents—in Boston; Madrid, Spain; and Dakar, Senegal—as well as satellite locations in Eastern Massachusetts, Suffolk has expanded its founding vision of opportunity to a global stage.
