 Subject: MASSMAIL - iBuy is here!

WHAT IS iBUY?
iBuy is the University's new e-procurement system that combines the use 
of Internet technology with procurement best practices to simplify the 
purchasing process and reduce costs.

WHO USES iBUY?
If you order or purchase goods for your department, approve purchasing 
transactions, are a P-Card cardholder or approver, then iBuy is for you!
 
START USING iBUY!
The iBUY Web site - www.iBuy.uillinois.edu - offers detailed information 
about iBuy and how to start purchasing items using this user-friendly 
process.  Click on Deployment in the left column of the Web site to 
access the deployment plan for your campus.

Next, select the spreadsheet for your campus (under University-wide 
Phase), look for your college, review your college's rollout dates, and 
follow the three-step timeline to participate in iBuy:

1) Plan to attend an Introduction to iBuy demonstration. 
2) Take advantage of the iBuy training options.
3) Request system access through your Unit Security Contact (USC).

3102 (UIUC) or e-mail iBuyHelp@uillinois.edu or helpdesk2@uillinois.edu.
