As we look back at the 2023/24 fiscal year, it’s time to pop the virtual champagne (or share a virtual high-five) because boy, oh boy, what a year it’s been. Over the past fiscal year, ShareIT has seen its highest ever utilization—with just over $32M in spending and an estimated savings by members of $13.9M. That’s a 30% increase from 2022/23!
Over the last year we’ve saved institutions from having to do their own RFx project at least 148 times. That means no need for initial mapping and service development, posting purchasing documentation, reviewing and evaluating submissions (which can be hundreds of pages each), or worrying about negotiations and contracting. You can imagine the time saving and cost efficiencies ShareIT has created for the sector.
