Ivalua, a global leader in spend management, and CKS Consulting, one of its longtime European implementation partners, announced that the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) has successfully deployed the Request for Quotation (RFQ) module (Spot bid).
Following a comprehensive and competitive bidding process, CERN concluded that Ivalua was the best fit to serve its main requirements: automating Requests for Quotations (inviting registered and prospect bidders, receiving and ranking bids), ensuring compliance with CERN procurement rules, integrating with CERN systems, and providing a superior user experience.
As a partner and reseller of Ivalua, CKS Consulting was the single point of contact for the CERN project team, handling both the platform’s configuration and its integration within a demanding IT landscape, and supporting the change management activities.
