US Higher Ed Guide: Connecting the Campus Finance Ecosystem

On campuses across the country, finance and IT teams are shifting from behind-the-scenes roles to leading the charge to transform their financial processes through technology. Eighty-one percent of CFOs, for example, believe they are the primary drivers of growth in their institution. IT stands right beside them, taking a prominent seat at the leadership table to offer data-driven insight and strategic foresight.

Together, finance and IT leaders are poised to help your institution take the next steps forward. But to do so effectively, they must have more than just large volumes of data—it must be relevant, accessible, centralized, secure, and consistently updated.

As an agent of change, how do you change things? In a word: Integration. Unifying your spend management and travel booking tools with your ERP and other core platforms and harmonizing all of that data to ensure your systems are talking to each other—is more than a first step. It’s a necessary step forward if you want to succeed in today’s highly interconnected world. This guide is where you start.
