From Cost Optimization to Operating Discipline

As McGraw Hill advanced its enterprise-wide performance initiatives, leadership identified indirect spend as a meaningful opportunity to improve financial discipline while enhancing how the organization operates. Spend was managed across multiple business units, with supplier relationships and purchasing decisions developed over time based on local needs — creating flexibility, but also variability in how indirect commitments were evaluated and managed.

McGraw Hill partnered with LogicSource to modernize how indirect spend was analyzed, governed, and managed across the enterprise — combining internal leadership and decision authority with external category expertise, data, and execution support.

In this whitepaper, see how our proven approach helped build lasting operating discipline by:

• Consolidating a fragmented supplier base
• Establishing enterprise-wide spend visibility
• Embedding a centralized, tiered approval framework
• Shifting procurement from reactive to proactive
