A globally outstanding center of teaching and research with 3000 staff and 15,000 students, Durham has achieved world- leading status in both undergraduate and post graduate education.
What was the challenge?

How did we help?
With automated back office reporting, Durham has reduced manual processing time and freed up staff to focus on strategic activities.
“Suppliers have full transparency and can see where they are positioned against other suppliers. That transparency allows the University to obtain best value.”
