**About ESM**

Advancing the mission of education takes more than smart spending. Because in education, procurement isn’t just about transactions—it’s about connecting people with the resources they need to power learning. It isn’t about adding more suppliers to your network—it’s about finding the right suppliers who can deliver what your education community needs—today and tomorrow. It isn’t even about automating source-to-pay—it’s about building insight at every point in the process so that you can design innovative new ways to support institutional goals.

At ESM we believe that intelligent procurement is based on a vision for how to deliver lasting value—one shared by you, your suppliers, and your education community. We’re building dynamic new technologies powered by a community of insight to help you manage every relationship more effectively and build a sustainable ecosystem to help your institution thrive.

Because keeping education vibrant and viable isn’t just a job—it’s a calling.
