Byrne pointed to Corporate Express' successful history working with other higher education institutions including Columbia University, Bucknell University and Seton Hall University.
"This is an exciting opportunity for Corporate Express," Byrne said. "Syracuse University is well respected, one of the largest companies in operation in upstate New York."
As a 1994 graduate of SU, Byrne said he is thrilled to be a part of the partnership.
"It's nice to be back on campus and seeing familiar faces," he said.
Though the contract makes Corporate Express SU's preferred vendor for office supplies, ink and toner, departments are not obligated to purchase items exclusively from Corporate Express.
The next step for the SU Purchasing Department is electronic invoicing over the eProcurement system, which promises to save both paper and filing time. The department is currently working on this second phase to overhaul SU's purchasing of office supplies.
The contract with Corporate Express will expire in 2010.
