Procurement Update Welcome to the April 2006 Procurement Update. This month's topics include: * Jeff Bethke Joins University Operations Jeff Bethke Joins University Operations Jeff Bethke, director of Procurement Services, joined University Operations as Associate Vice President last Friday. In his new position, Jeff will oversee the University Budget Process, supervise the Budget Group, and direct other special projects. Two Assistant Buyers Join Procurement Services Procurement Services is pleased to welcome two new additions to our team. Stephanie Leon and Noor Syed started on April 10th as Assistant Buyers. Stephanie is a freshman in the college of commerce and will be coordinating new vendor processes and university salvage auctions. Noor, a graduate student in CTI, will be working on the salvage program and website management. Both can be reached at x2-7510. We'd also like to thank Solape Teriba for her work in Procurement Services. Solape managed the new vendor process and assisted in many other special projects. She is currently finishing up her masters degree from CTI. We wish her the best of luck in the future. New Software Purchasing Guidelines Procurement Services in collaboration with the Teaching Learning Technology Committee (TLT) worked jointly over the past few months to analyze and optimize the spending of University software dollars. We studied the software purchasing activity throughout the University and found that purchases were scattered across various vendors. In addition, software was purchased frequently as part of office supply orders with Pro-Card the main method of payment. These practices result in end-users paying a premium purchase price. It also makes it difficult to track spending practices so that the University might take advantage of available quantity discounts. Procurement Services and TLT encourage you to direct all future software purchases to CDWG. By doing so, we expect to see substantial cost savings. In addition, by using one vendor we will have an ability to see detailed purchasing activity which will help us in negotiating additional discounts in future. Thanks in advance for your participation in this new venture. If you have any questions please contact Procurement Services at 312-362-7510.
