Enron Mail |
As some of you may have seen through the e-mail system, Enron Corp. has begun
a payables and procurement initiative under the name "iBuyit." The initiative involves the implementation of an on-line procurement and payables system, the central focus of which will be to enable Enron to better track vendor expenses and overall costs. The implementation of the payables portion of the system will occur on May 1, 2001 and will be applicable to all organizations supported by Houston-based Accounts Payable processing centers (e.g., our Legal Department). I have been asked to be the stakeholder for this project for the Department and have been working with Dina Snow and Carolyn George (as the Department change agents) to get up to speed on this program and its impact. Given that this program will present a marked changed in the manner in which we will be coding, reviewing and approving invoices for payment, it is important that each of you have an overview understanding of the system and how it will function. This, in turn, will aid you in determining the best process to be implemented within your particular group for use of the system. To assist in this general understanding, the iBuyit group prepared a system demonstration running through the functionality of the system and answering some general questions as to its use. I believe it provides an appropriate overview and have provided the below link to the demonstration location: http://ibuyit.enron.com/gss/ibuyit/iBuyitPayablesPresentation.ppt Mark has asked that I speak on this program a bit at the upcoming OGC meeting (Monday, 4/23) and answer any questions you may have. In the interim, if there are any questions about the program or the system's functionality, please do not hesitate to call me.
