As a side benefit, the group was able to do a better job of asset management. Because all purchasing was done through one system, there was one place where serial numbers of new equipment were captured. Previous attempts at tracking assets had failed because it depended on such data to be collected by individuals who had other priorities.

Centralized purchasing’s biggest benefit was the fact that the SAs now had knowledge of what was being purchased. They noticed certain products being purchased often and arranged volume purchasing deals for them. Certain software packages were preordered in bulk. Imagine the customers’ surprise when they tried to purchase a particular package and instead received a note saying that their department would be billed for one-fiftieth of a 50-license package purchased earlier that year and were given a password they could use to download the software package and manuals. That certainly beat waiting for it to be delivered!
