UNIVERSITY PURCHASING WELCOMES DEBRA CANNON

Debra Cannon has joined University Purchasing as a Procurement Manager I.  Debra comes to us from the College of Charleston and was first employed in State Purchasing at Trident Tech.  She has 17 years of experience and has her CPPB (Certified Professional Public Buyer) certification.

Debra is a great addition to our staff and we want to welcome her to MUSC and University Purchasing.

 MUSC MARKETPLACE UPDATE:

The implementation and testing phases of the MUSC Marketplace have been completed and the Pilot Group went live on March 1, 2012. Once the Pilot Phase is complete, we will begin rolling out the Marketplace to the entire campus in this order:
Department of Medicine Pilot
College of Medicine – Phase 1
College of Medicine – Phase 2
College of Nursing
College of Dental Medicine
College of Pharmacy
College of Health Professions
College of Graduate Studies
President’s Office/Colcock Hall/VP Academic Affairs/VP Finance
Finance and Operations
Engineering and Facilities
All other areas not specified above

You will be contacted about two and a half week prior to your “GO LIVE” date and asked to attend a two-hour training class.  You will have about a week and a half to work in the test system to become familiar with the Marketplace prior to going live.  We encourage you to take advantage of this class.  When your area goes live, the Marketplace will be your tool for procuring all goods and services for the University.

Thank you to everyone who has helped with implementation and testing.  It was a lot of hard work, but it is about to pay off for everyone.
