Training and training resources announced for Procurement's coming Ariba P2P launch
September 13, 2013
The buildup to the Oct. 14 launch of the new Ariba P2P procurement system -- a major step in the Procurement Process Transformation -- has reached the stage of full-scale training via both instructor-led training and computer-based resources.
Courses with instruction by University procurement subject matter experts have been developed for both system-wide users and for some specific departments. Dates for upcoming instructor-led training can be found on the PREMIS registration site.
Revised deadlines for the steps in the cutover from the SRM system also have been announced.
