Pima Community College is a hallmark of higher education, with six campuses, and a dedicated faculty serving the Tucson metro area. However, until 2015, its method for handling travel, expense and invoices was decidedly old school, ripe with paper-based, highly manual processes that frustrated faculty, staff, administrators and the AP department alike.
Pima Community College leaders wanted a total employee-initiated spend management partner that understood higher education and had a configurable solution that would mobilize the entire employee spend process. The college reduced costs, increased efficiency and improved compliance – all while making the process easier for its users.
When you have limited resources, you have to do more with less – and that's hard to do with paper-based processes. So, we started looking for a more automated T&E solution that would give us the features and compliance management we needed – from a partner who understood higher education.
