eVA Introduces ACP
A
faster & easier way to buy
The eVA project team is excited to announce the
immediate release of Ariba Category Procurement (ACP)
— eVA’s new collaboration tool that provides state
and local government buyers a faster, easier way to
buy services.
ACP eliminates the need for phone calls, emails and
faxes by bringing the “dialog” between a buyer and
vendor into eVA, Virginia’s electronic purchasing
system. It creates an electronic procurement file
with the full history of the sourcing and
requisition activity, resulting in a more efficient
procurement. eVA buyers can use ACP to screen and
select candidates, negotiate pay rates, determine
project scope, and more.
An additional feature of ACP is the capture of
electronic time sheets that include eVA approval
flow. Through ACP, time sheets can be completed,
submitted and approved online—creating the
opportunity to reduce paper work.
ACP is now available for immediate use in
conjunction with the state’s Temporary Labor
Services contract and the Consulting Services
contract. |

PEW Center Cites
eVA For Cost Savings In
50-State Report: Virginia Ranked #1
In
a report that evaluates how well a state serves its
citizens, Virginia ranks the highest in the country.
http://www.pewcenteronthestates.org
"Grading The States 2008" examines and measures four
key areas: money, people, infrastructure and
information. Noting that eVA was a big cost saver
for the Commonwealth, the report gave Virginia high
marks for providing management and citizens easy
access to many internet based information sites,
including information on how public funds are spent.
The report also noted eVA's ground-breaking
electronic tie-in with the federal e-procurement
system, an innovative move that gives state and
local purchasers access to federally competed supply
schedules. |

eVA Awarded by GSA For Unique Federal-State Partnership
|
|
|
 |
The Coalition For Government
Procurement, (CGP),
awarded eVA the "Excellence In
Partnership Award for 2007" in the "Best
Use Of Cooperative Purchasing" category.
This category recognizes a state or
local government agency that has made
strategic use of federal schedule
contracts in support of their mission.
eVA received the award for completion of
a unique project with the federal
government's General Services
Administration (GSA). |

eVA and GSA
established the first "punch-out" catalog between a
state and federal e-procurement system. This
collaboration yielded a direct link for eVA buyers
to the GSA's Schedule 70, also known at Information
Technology products and services. With this
enhancement, eVA buyers can now connect directly to
GSA Advantage, the federal e-procurement system, and
make electronic purchases from GSA Schedule 70. "Punchout"
technology automatically creates the buyer's
electronic purchase order, increasing accuracy and
saving data entry time. As with other electronic
orders, eVA captures and stores purchase history in
its data warehouse.
Bob Sievert, Director of the e-Procurement Bureau,
Division of Purchases and Supply, received the award
on behalf of the eVA team.
"Everyone comes out ahead on projects like this,"
said Bob. "Our buyers get to take advantage of the
competitive federal pricing. GSA gets to optimize
the potential savings for tax payers. And the GSA
vendors get a chance at a wider customer base,
through eVA.
