Announcement - eBuy Coming Spring 2009 - The New Strategic Procurement

The Purchasing Department is preparing to implement eBuy, which is the latest in our series of procurement tools.

 

eBuy, a SciQuest Spend Director module, is scheduled to go live in the Spring of 2009. 

 

Instead of searching the Internet or physically shopping, campus users will log into eBuy, an “Amazon.com” like environment and search for needed products from competitively bid primary contracts; providing the products to campus at the best price in a timely fashion.  Electronic catalogs replace the huge paper catalogs – placing pricing information at the fingertips of researchers and supporting our sustainability efforts for a greener campus.  Automating the source to settlement process with software solutions enables our institutions to utilize best practices, dramatically reduces redundant tasks, maintains data integrity through the entire procurement cycle and enables total spend visibility.

*A training schedule will be available closer to go live date.
