Advice from the trenches:
Seeking a sourcing solution


With 160,000 students across 45 campuses, Ivy Tech Community College managed to handle growing RFP and competitive bidding processes in less time.

Higher Education procurement teams commonly encounter a unique dilemma: purchasing such a diverse group of products and services for multiple departments and campuses, all with limited resources. With outdated procurement processes and tools, it can become difficult to stay on top of purchase demands. Sometimes these delays can mean a request can lose funding due to a fiscal year change. Does this sound familiar?

Heather Vasquez, Assistant Director of IT Procurement at Ivy Tech, discusses how her team moved from a manual procurement process, using Bonfire to:

  • Manage growing project volumes
  • Engage stakeholders seamlessly
  • Reduce project cycle times
“It has helped us make a more informed decision because now all of the information is in one spot.”
