[Entm-researchstaff] Office Depot Ordering

[Bill Sutton]

Howdy,

Purchasing has moved away from Office Depot as part of the ebuy catalog system and it will not be added back to the Oracle system which will deploy sometime in early July.

I have been assigned a "special" ODP business account to use with UC pricing so there is a discount. With that said, no I cannot get a login for you to use. We will have to do the same as with Amazon. Find what you need on the public site and place the order in ebuy using the item number and description. I will then place the order in this business ecommerce site.

As a FYI, Main Purchasing is working on several other sites that they would like to move from ecatalog to an ecommerce platform (they will not tell me which ones). How that will look and work I do not know. Over the next several months there will be several changes that will affect how orders are placed with the new Oracle system. We are still in the process of developing the online and in person (zoom) training. There will be more info within the next month or so.

I would Love to say Questions? But I have no answers to give as of yet and the whole impact23 program is still very fluid.

Thank you.
