Strategic Information Services (SI) is an audit function that shows correct contract pricing and occurrences of price variation. It clarifies supply chain data across multiple facilities to allow national benchmarking.

The data provides:

• Audit reports showing when a customer did or did not get the contract price.
• Price variance reports showing variation within certain time periods.
• Database maintenance reports indicating areas in need of database clean up.
• Non-contract opportunities reports showing suppliers and items that were purchased off contract. 

Other services available through SI include:

• Local Compliance Catalog (LCC)—A customized version of CDQuick. The LCC is a single repository for all contract information, including GPO, system, regional and local contracts.
• Master Item File Services (MIF)—MIF creates one database with a standardized list of items and nomenclature from the MMIS or ERP supply chain item masters. Unnecessary items are removed from the item master and relevant items are added. This service promotes better analysis of data and supports on-contract purchases.
