Kudos to Ed Barber!

Procurement Director Ed Barber has been appointed to the Procure-to-Pay (PTP) Product Advisory Group of the Higher Education User Group (HEUG) representing institutions that use application software from Oracle. The HEUG website describes the Procure-to-Pay group as “collaborating with Oracle representatives on many levels to evolve the PTP products to continue to improve functionality, flow, and user experience.” We have no doubt Ed will be a great advocate for Puget Sound and all others using Oracle’s PTP products!

Campus Solutions had a great week, going live in PeopleSoft with the early decision process, which includes financial aid awarding and notification, for next fall’s incoming class.
