The webinar is hosted by Sarah Woods, Educational Associate of NAEP, and Tulsi Zeidman, Aquiire Head of Strategic Solutions.

Additionally, the webinar will explore how real-time data and automated processes are essential to transforming higher-educational purchasing operations to meet today's challenges. Webinar takeaways include: 

• Why reshaping the traditional procurement business model realizes exceptional user adoption, purchasing compliance and spend transparency.

• How higher education institutions can automate, proactively manage and document federal grant purchasing activities to drive uniform guidance compliance, streamline reporting tasks in preparation for the Single Audit and ultimately avoid penalties.

• How real-time eProcurement delivers unprecedented operational efficiencies while maximizing the value obtained for each dollar spent.
