Description: 

Development and deployment of an eProcurement system that will offer an online shopping environment for OSU’s contracted goods and services, while providing simultaneous access to enabled catalogs for searches across multiple suppliers and catalogs. The eProcurement system will cover the entire source to settlement process including: Supplier Information Management, Sourcing and Contract Management, online marketplace, Accounts Payable and Spend and Performance Analysis.

Status Summary: 

BennyBuy is now live for 6 Business Centers and their departments.  UABC and CCBO are being trained during the week of 9/11-9/15 and will go live on 9/18. 

Vendor/Supplier management is enabled, and we continue to bring additional vendors into the system.
