> City of New Orleans Case Study

           > City of Tucson Case Study

Periscope's customers include large local governments and states focused on effectively managing their procurement processes. Key BuySpeed customers include the states of Alaska, New Jersey and Louisiana as well as large local governments such as the cities of Baltimore (MD), New Orleans (LA), and Tucson (AZ). Each customer has its own business and regulatory requirements and interface requirements.

Typically, these governments recognize increased efficiency and savings based on process improvement and better pricing. This is accomplished by:

• Effectively managing their supplier community,
• Completely automating the requisition and approval process,
• Formalizing and controlling the bid process for higher dollar purchases, and
• Defining and enforcing contract spending levels.

The following list represents a sample of Periscope's clients:

• State of Alaska, Department of Transportation
• Baltimore, City of (MD)
• State of New Jersey, Department of Purchase & Property
• Cedar Rapids Community School District (IA)
• Chicago Housing Authority (IL)
• Fort Lauderdale, City of (FL)
• Hampton Roads Sanitation Dist (VA)
• Harris, County of (TX)
• New Orleans, City of (LA)
• State of Texas, Texas Education Agency
• State of Louisiana, Department of General Services

Alaska Department of Transportation - including its Anchorage International Airport and Alaska Marine Highway System operations - implemented BuySpeed and increased purchasing controls while dramatically improving purchasing efficiency, including a reduction in requisition processing time from 3 days to 1 day.

The City of Houston, TX - recognizing the need to streamline their inventory processes - implemented the NIGP 11-Digit Commodity Code within its SAP software system resulting in the reduction of material master codes from 88,000 used in the legacy system to approximately 20,000 after SAP "go-live."
