Industries/Higher education/Spend Intelligence
P-card and departmental,consortium redirect sizing.
Analysts sample p-card spend to find categories that should use consortium contracts. Spend Intelligence classifies departmental spend, quantifies redirect potential to consortium or strategic contracts, and presents evidence budget officers use with departments.
