Internal Business Partners

The procure-to-pay related achievements at Penn are a direct result of the collaboration among Procurement Services, the Division of Finance (in particular the Office of the Comptroller) and Information Systems & Computing (ISC).

Procure-to-Pay (P2P) project team members, and support staff from various other internal organizations as required, are responsible for all aspects of P2P business and technology related projects and initiatives. This collaborative effort has resulted in administrative excellence across campus, significant financial return-on-investment, and recognition in the industry for Penn.
