# [CalPERS saves 60% through optimized vendor management | CS](https://www.trgscreen.com/blog/calpers-case-study-reveals-60-savings-since-trgscreen)

 Written by [TRG Screen](https://www.trgscreen.com/blog/author/trg-screen) | 24-11-2020

During an organisational restructure, commercial, purchasing and financial processes relating to all vendor contracts, subscriptions and services were aligned under a single function. However, the inherited system wasn’t developed to handle the new workflows, nor provide the total visibility [CalPERS](https://www.calpers.ca.gov/page/home) needed across its inventory.

Based on a fit for purpose analysis, it didn’t make sense for CalPERS to move forward with their legacy system that wasn’t built for their new operating model. A third-party research and consultancy firm, Cutter Associates, recommended a enterprise subscription spend and usage management solutions from TRG Screen as the best available on the market, saving CalPERS from having to fund a re-engineering of their system estimated at an investment upward of $2m.

[FITS spend management](https://www.trgscreen.com/enterprise-spend-management-software/fits-spend-management-solution) was prioritized in concert with [ResearchMonitor for usage management](https://www.trgscreen.com/usage-management-system/researchmonitor-usage-tracking-online-subscriptions) and [Quest for enquiry management](https://www.trgscreen.com/request-management-system). Phase two was to later include [Xmon](https://www.trgscreen.com/usage-management-system/xmon-reference-data-usage-management-software) usage management products to build a total picture of their vendor environment.

As a result CalPERS has experienced significant workflow and process efficiencies, greater  
visibility and control over vendor contracts and complete transparency over subscription cost and value. In just 8 months following initial implementation, around 600 contracts had already been set-up, including market data services, external investment manager and investment consulting services, and other subscription services.
