University of Nevada, Reno Enables Electronic Bids

The University of Nevada, Reno chose SciQuest's Sourcing Manager, an on-demand supplier relationship management (SRM) module to help it achieve enterprise-wide spend visibility, and to quickly create, issue, monitor and award informal quotes and formal bid requests.

"After reviewing several alternatives, we chose SciQuest because of their ability to provide our organization with a total system," said Tom Judy, associate vice president of business and finance, at the University of Nevada, Reno. "After a successful implementation of SciQuest's HigherMarket e-procurement solution, we were confident that they would be able to deliver a quality solution to meet our sourcing needs."

"By electronically enabling our bidding process," said Ray Moran, director of purchasing, "we expect to expand the number of participating suppliers, increase savings and track our spending through its extensive reporting capabilities. In addition, SciQuest's suite of solutions will allow for easy integration between bidding and the purchasing process."
