Laurentian University Preparing to Unleash the Jaggaer

Laurentian University is moving forward with a major modernization of its procure-to-pay processes and will soon implement the Jaggaer eProcurement system, widely adopted across the higher-education sector in Canada.

The new system will introduce several important improvements for the campus community:

A modern purchasing experience with an interface similar to online marketplaces, making it easier to browse, compare, and purchase from contracted suppliers.
Simplified and more efficient workflows, reducing manual steps, lowering administrative burden, and accelerating transaction processing.
Enhanced cost control and compliance, as purchases become more consolidated under awarded suppliers and follow consistent, policy-aligned procedures.

The University is currently working with an implementation partner, and the project is in its early planning phase.

The launch of Jaggaer represents a significant step in transformation at Laurentian University. Additional updates and resources will be shared through the New Procure to Pay Platform webpage as the project moves forward.
