A
newsletter from the Administration and Finance Division
Briefly
from the VP
The Division of Administration and
Finance is constantly reviewing business processes to determine ways
to improve university operations. Some improvements on the
horizon are discussed below.
Information Technology will be
busy installing Windows 2000 on everyone's computer. This will
hopefully stop computers from locking up and manage programs better.
Web-based e-mail is coming which
will allow you to access your e-mail from any computer using
your web browser. You will be able to send and
receive e-mail as if you are working from your workstation.
For more information regarding
Windows 2000 or web-based e-mail, contact Joe Ferguson in the
Information Technology Department.
Facilities is in the process of installing MP2 which
is a work order request system. This system will allow you to
submit a work order, receive confirmation of the work order and
track the progress of the work order through completion.
For more information regarding
MP2, contact Michael Ruland in the Facilities Services
Department.
Business Services and Finance Departments are looking at simplifying the
ProCard system to allow easier processing of purchases and
vouchers. Hopefully this will reduce the number
|
|
of vouchers
that need inputting into the PeopleSoft system.
For more information regarding the
ProCard system, contact Gregory Fanelli in the Business Services
Department.

News
from Purchasing
Did you know we have a new
and improved Purchasing website? Take a look at http://www.uhv.edu/fin/
purchasing/home.htm .
Also, thanks to House Bill
1545, Purchasing will be changing the way it does business. Best
value consideration instead of lowest cost will now play a primary
role in larger purchase order awards. Also, the President's Cabinet
will be asked to approve increasing departmental purchasing
limits to allow for more departmental flexibility
and (hopefully) less red tape.
