On February 6, 2017, the CEO of SciQuest, the OSU eProcurement system provider, announced they have changed their company name to JAGGAER.

CEO Robert Bonavito announced,

“JAGGAER will continue to provide the solutions that have made us the number one choice in over 280 major Colleges and Universities. You’re part of the hundreds of companies that trust us with over 40 billion dollars in annual spend in our network of over 1.5 million global suppliers.”

Name the eProcurement SystemOur OSU eProcurement System has a name!

At the 2016 Training Days event, a voting box was posted at the main entrance, so that everyone could cast their vote to select the name of our eProcurement System.  We received a lot of entries, including some write-in options, and the winner is BennyBuy!

Thank you to everyone who voted!

Please watch for upcoming Listening Sessions, where our project team will provide the campus community with updates on BennyBuy!  At these listening sessions, we will provide an overview of the system and a live demo of how the system will work and an opportunity for you to provide your comments, questions and ideas to our project team.

Many thanks to everyone who joined us at the OSU eProcurement is Coming presentation at this year’s Training Days.  We had 115 people registered for the session, and nearly 100 people attended.  Participants were provided with an overview of the project and responses to the following questions:

  • What is eProcurement?
  • Why are we bringing eProcurement to OSU?
  • Why did we select the system provider and the implementation consultant?
  • What’s included in the OSU eProcurement System?
  • How is the OSU eProcurement Project managed?
  • Where can I find more information on the project?
  • How can I get involved in the project?

Participants provided great feedback, including many ideas for developing our FAQ (coming soon to our website)

Many thanks to Shared Services for including an update on the eProcurement Project in their Fall 2016 newsletter.

In Mark Johnson’s article “New eProcurement System is Bringing Benefits to Oregon State”, he shares, “This exciting initiative is just getting started, and we want to share what we know and what you can expect. The project will establish an automated purchasing system for OSU employees using an online shopping environment (known as a “Marketplace”).”

Implementation efforts for a new eProcurement system have begun!  This session will introduce you to OSU’s plans for an eProcurement system, an online shopping environment for OSU’s contracted goods and services.  Using a similar software platform implemented by many peer institutions nationwide, the online shopping environment, or “Marketplace”, will cover the entire source to settlement process including: Supplier Information Management, Sourcing & Contract Management, Marketplace & eProcurement, Accounts Payable and Spend & Performance Analysis.  Come and hear all about it!

As part of the OSU Source-to-Settle Initiative, the OSU eProcurement Project is intended to bring an automated eProcurement system and its associated business processes and procedures to optimize OSU’s procurement process.

This Status page is intended to provide ongoing information to our campus community regarding project overview and updates, outreach event opportunities, as well as a channel for providing feedback to our project team.
