We were extremely impressed with what ACC did for our organization. Their consultants were very knowledgeable, but more importantly, they helped us save more than 30% on our energy and shipping costs. At the beginning of the project they laid out a game plan so there were no surprises. We went by that plan and the result was a major win for our business.
ACC achieved savings in significant areas. Our relationship with them was extremely helpful because we have several campuses across the state and no internal procurement department. ACC helped us identify areas where consolidating expense would be beneficial and turned those findings into savings. ACC’s buying power helped us see benefits across the entire 7,000 student institution and saved us more than $105,000 annually.
It was a pleasure to work with Alliance Cost Containment. From the very beginning they were able to identify areas of potential cost reductions and drove the due diligence process while keeping the work required to a minimum for our staff. The results were very beneficial to our company, as our goal was to reduce costs company-wide and — in some cases — helped validate that we were already utilizing a low cost provider. Even more important, the process helped create an ongoing culture of overall vendor management. We now focus on reducing costs across the company every day. ACC’s staff was extremely professional and enjoyable to work with throughout the entire process.
After a thorough analysis of our insurance policies, ACC assisted us not only in saving substantial money on our premiums, but also ensuring that our policies contained appropriate coverage terms and limits. The time and effort they spent were obvious in the results. I would definitely recommend that other hospital CEOs consider utilizing these services. Even if there had been no opportunities for savings, it would have been comforting to know that our insurance policies were commensurate with our needs and the industry norm.
Our school partnered with Alliance Cost Containment to reduce expenses in a number of different areas. The first phase included telephone services, office supplies and janitorial products. Because these first categories were so successful, we moved in to a new phase focused on reducing our printing costs which was also very successful.
