Thanks to all for your patience and help as we transitioned our procurement system. After months of training and implementation, ProConnect is finally up and running for all requisitions! All areas of the campus have now been trained. Training materials and other information and links are available on our website at https://sites.rowan.edu/procurement/purchasing/rowanproconnect.html.

 Effective immediately requisitions will no longer be accepted through Banner Administrative or MyBanner platforms. All requisitions should now be entered through the ProConnect system. Any requisitions submitted in Banner after the date shown will be returned to the end user with instructions to enter the request in ProConnect.

This innovative system will streamline the way we buy and pay for goods and services across the University, offering a single, user-friendly platform.

Here are some of the key features and benefits:

• Comprehensive Procure-to-Pay Solution: Enjoy an intuitive, robust end-to-end procure-to-pay, supplier management, and contract management system with mobile capabilities, automated receipt integration, streamlined approval functionalities, and compliance verification.
• Connecting Processes and Systems: A single solution for Contracts Management, Supplier Management, Procurement, and Accounts Payable needs eliminating the need for disconnected homemade solutions.
• Increased Efficiency: Reduce processing time and manual efforts with streamlined process and workflow automation
• Advanced Reporting Tools: Access graphical reporting tools to analyze purchasing trends and spend data directly in the solution without needing to export data to Cognos for reporting.
• Improved Compliance: Ensure adherence to procurement policies and regulatory requirements with built-in compliance checks.
• Supplier Collaboration: Foster better relationships and supplier communication through a centralized platform.

In the coming months we will be hosting Town Halls to introduce the solution and provide information around who this will impact, some of the goals and benefits, and the timeline for deployment. Our first Town Hall Session will be scheduled for October 9th at 2pm EST. We are excited about the future of Rowan’s procurement process and appreciate your support in making this transition successful.

The OC&P formalized the language used for payment recipients across the University.  These include payments to vendors, employees, and students. The goal is to provide a guide to the University community with definitions and payment processes so the language surrounding payments is consistent across all division and departments.

You will find a spreadsheet here with a list of payment types, definitions, and other applicable information.
