For some time now the Purchasing Department has been working on a solution to make it easier to buy from contract vendors and simplify the process of entering a requisition. The new system, called BuyBama, gives users the ability to shop from many online catalogs under a single sign on. It also streamlines the process of obtaining P-Card limit increases for purchases with contract vendors, and provides a more user friendly environment for entering requisitions.
I am pleased to announce that testing on BuyBama is nearing completion and we will soon be moving to the pilot phase. You can expect to hear more about BuyBama as we begin implementation over the coming months.
