SUPPLY CHAIN REACHES OUT TO CAMPUS
In an effort to build strong relationships with the University community and share information about current initiatives, UCSF Supply Chain Management (SCM) has launched a new outreach program. We want to align our resources and efforts with your needs to help save you time and money so you can focus on your mission-driven work at UCSF.
 
To kick off the program, SCM has arranged 90-minute meetings with campus departments to share information about our activities, and most important, to hear your suggestions, concerns and questions. Prior to the actual meeting, we ask attendees to identify any specific questions or topics that we should come prepared to address.
 
If you have questions or would like to schedule a meeting for your department, please email Karen Hamblett ( [email protected]).

Upcoming Software Form Improvements

Earlier this year, a new BearBuy Software form was introduced for software and cloud computing purchases in order to identify and mitigate notable potential risks associated with these types of transactions.
  
After the launch of the Software Form, we received valuable feedback from our campus community about the Software Form usage and guidance. We are listening, and based on this feedback, we are currently working to provide more clarity about form usage and improvements to the   Software Guide.  
  
Please look for more details about Software Form improvements in upcoming Supply Chain Management newsletters.
