Buy-to-Pay benefits:

1. Provide a user-friendly shopping experience by enabling users to buy what they need quickly, securely, and cost-effectively.

2. Optimize the shopping process by replacing manual and inefficient processes with a seamless process from point-of-order to payment.

3. Allow users to make informed business decisions through enhanced analytic and reporting capabilities.

The new solution will feature a combination of platform, policy, and process enhancements to provide a more user-friendly, transparent and efficient buying and paying experience.  For instance, benefits will include a reduction in paper invoices and improved visibility of order status and approval workflows throughout the procurement process.

Specific changes will be communicated through a project representative. The Buy-to-Pay project team includes representatives from a wide range of Tubs and Units, and decisions are being made with the input of the user community across Harvard.
