Integration helps streamline and automate the school purchasing process for 5,254 IRIS Financial customers

LONDON, April 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — IRIS Software Group (IRIS) today announced the availability of Amazon Business e-Procurement for IRIS Financials. This integration will enable more than 5,000 UK schools to purchase supplies directly from Amazon Business through their IRIS Financials system, cutting out a number of time-consuming manual steps.

Schools regularly purchase bulk items from Amazon Business, such as textbooks, stationery, computers, whiteboards, safety equipment, sports, music, art and science equipment, furniture, cleaning and catering supplies and Special Educational Needs (SEN) resources.

Available now, this collaboration allows purchasing teams to launch Amazon Business’s digital catalogue within their IRIS Financials purchasing system. Offering full integration with an existing Amazon Business account, purchasing teams benefit from a familiar Amazon check-out process, prefilled purchase order lines, automatic generation of purchase orders and approvals, and purchase reconciliation.

“This is a fantastic collaboration, underlining IRIS Education’s commitment to the education sector, and showing how we continue to innovate to help schools and trusts,” said Simon Freeman, Managing Director for Education at IRIS. “Being able to handle Amazon e-procurement within IRIS Financials transforms the time intensive manual processes that are performed daily. It removes the need to re-key information from Amazon into a purchase order, alleviates the usual juggling between applications to copy over information from Amazon to a purchasing system and dramatically reduces the steps needed in gaining approval for purchases.”

“We’re thrilled to be collaborating with IRIS to bring streamlined procurement for thousands of schools around the UK,” said Fabricio Pedroza, Country Manager, UK&I at Amazon Business. “This collaboration means we’re able to offer UK schools and multi-academy trusts a wide range of products through their existing IRIS Financials purchasing systems, providing easy access to Amazon Business’s digital catalogue. Through automating admin tasks, and offering increased visibility and an easier and improved purchase reconciliation, this partnership will enable schools to focus on what’s important: the education and success of its students.”

SINGAPORE, April 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The global imperative to improve access to and the quality of education continues to be paramount. In this regard, independent charity Vantage Foundation notes that India has made significant strides in its education system, with strong indicators pointing to the country’s notable efforts to enhance learning outcomes.

Notably, Vantage Foundation recognises the pivotal role played by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in facilitating India’s transition toward a digitally empowered society. UNESCO’s profound insights, showcased through the State of Education Report (SOER) published by the UNESCO New Delhi Office, serve as a testament to its commitment to driving positive educational reforms.

“UNESCO New Delhi produces our flagship report on the issues relating to the domain of education in India such as artificial intelligence in education, technical and vocational education, climate education etc.,” explains Joyce Poan, Programme Specialist and Chief of Sector for Education, UNESCO New Delhi. “We collaborated with Vantage on the topic of artificial intelligence and education. These reports are useful to policymakers because they provide updated information and ten concrete recommendations, specific to India.”

“The SOER was the result of meticulous research by experts and designed for practical application. As such, we can bear witness to its tangible effects in India today,” says Steven Xie, Executive Director of Vantage Foundation. “More importantly, its universal insights have the potential to transcend borders, offering far-reaching benefits that extend beyond India.”

Joyce also highlights the reports’ wide-ranging use cases. “Our reports serve as an essential compilation of best practices, going beyond merely informing policymakers. They also represent an important repository of knowledge on the chosen topic, aimed at educating teachers, students, and the public alike,” she explains.

When asked about the future updates to its knowledge base, Joyce explains, “This year, UNESCO New Delhi will prioritise cultural and arts education in India. Our upcoming report will spotlight best practices from different Indian states and strategies for enhancing cultural and arts education across the country.”

Through their collaborative efforts, Vantage Foundation and UNESCO New Delhi exemplify a shared dedication to nurturing educational excellence and societal progress. These initiatives are crafted to inspire the next generation to strive for greater accomplishments, both within India and on a global scale.
