Procure-to-Pay Enhancements

The Procure-to-Pay Enhancement project is a collaborative effort that will result in a range of improvements across
the technologies that support university purchasing activities. These enhancements aim to streamline procurement processes,
boost efficiency, and enhance the customer experience.

Achieving such an outcome will mark a significant milestone toward becoming a Next in Class Procurement Services team, not just for U-M but among all higher education institutions. An effort of this magnitude is only possible when valued partners and experts can join efforts and engage in meaningful collaboration. Procurement Service is excited to be working with Michigan Medicine, Shared Services Center, and Information Technology Services to envision and work toward a better procure-to-pay experience throughout the university.

A significant portion of the project will be dedicated to:

• Leveraging new technology, including AI, to optimize procurement processes
• Eliminating duplicative and inefficient technologies
• Enhancing system connectivity and data sharing through direct integrations
• Streamlining backend processes that impact the end user experience
