DMMH: "We are part of a large national purchasing organisation, and yet we still achieve significant savings with the help of ERA."
DMMH was founded in 1947 and is the only university college in Norway whose main focus is on training nursery school teachers. DMMH has approximately 1,400 students and 160 employees. The college works actively to safeguard children's needs and rights, and to highlight children's perspectives in society.
Like many others, Queen Maud University College of Early Childhood Education (DMMH) believed that they had everything in order, at least when it came to the costs negotiated by a large purchasing organisation.
The DMMH Foundation therefore did not consider financial costs to be a relevant category at first, as they were confident that they were getting the best possible terms. Nevertheless, ERA was entrusted with reviewing all the costs of the business and made some very interesting findings in the areas of energy and finance. Among other things, the school achieved an improvement of over 60% in interest margin compared to the old banking agreement, which had been handled by a larger purchasing group specialising in non-profit organisations.
"ERA has done a thorough job for us in finding new suppliers of energy and banking services. We are affiliated with an organisation that negotiates agreements for its members, yet we still achieve significant savings by entering into new agreements."
