There is no doubt that technology has impacted how we work and live. Electronic travel and expense reconciliation in higher-ed can lag behind the corporate sector. Many of you are still processing travel reimbursements and credit card allocations via a paper-driven process that is not only inefficient but lacks the visibility and analysis needed to move your institution forward. Join SAP Concur and The George Washington University in this, the first of a three-part series, on the evolution of travel and expense. Learn how over the course of 5 years, The George Washington University has moved from a very manual process to a smooth audited environment for travel and expense.

Register for this webinar and invite your CBO! This webcast will cover some major core principles around people, processes, and technology that CBOs should consider as they evaluate and enable their procurement department. This team typically manages the second largest addressable spend in the enterprise; therefore, supporting and advancing this function will not only lead to cost savings, but can also lead to more revenue opportunities, a reduction in enterprise risk, and a happier campus constituency (which is more likely to engage procurement actively).
You will hear from a panel of experts about the latest challenges in higher education procurement, important considerations for making positive incremental change, and how the campus CPO, with CBO support, can drive important strategic initiatives on campus that go far beyond traditional “purchasing.”
Moderated by Randy Roberson, the Director of Strategic Initiatives at NACUBO, the webinar panelists include:
- Mary Dukakis, Associate Vice President, Administration and Strategic Sourcing, Southern New Hampshire University
- Nichol Luoma, Associate Vice President, Chief Sustainability Operations Officer and Chief Procurement Officer, Arizona State University; President, NAEP
- Rosey Murton, CPPO, Chief Procurement Officer, Florida State University; Immediate Past President, NAEP
- Melanie Freeman, Interim CEO, NAEP

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) took effect in May 2018 after years of development, triggering a lot of discussion and action across various industries, including the Education sector. U.S. higher education institutions hold vast amounts of private information, some of which could be subject to the European Union’s GDPR and other emerging privacy-rights regulations. This webinar is intended to provide an overview of the regulation through the lens of Higher Education and its major stakeholders, with particular focus on Technology and Procurement roles.
