Next Steps • Make decisions on how to set up users: • What requestor role/s will you use? • One or two layers of approval for disbursements? • Gather key data for all agency employees that will need to create, approve, or pay POs (on the spreadsheet we provide) • Identify special approvers in your agency and what commodities/object codes they need to approve. • Who will be central receivers for each address? (if utilizing central receiving)

17. MyFloridaMarketPlacePilot Update Communication • Established cross-functional project team – Procurement, Accounting, Information Technology and key District staff • Members of team attended CRPs • Primary methods of communicating were: frequent e-mails, frequent meetings, weekly teleconferences with Districts, monthly reports to Executive Board, regular discussions with key industry groups • Since Go-Live, DOT issues funneled through one person for communication to Project team and consistent tracking • New practice of daily teleconference to update production issues very helpful • Continue to work on improving communications

18. MyFloridaMarketPlacePilot Update Rule Development • Key issues were not surfaced until roundtable discussion • Exemptions from fee critical to buyer and vendor acceptance • P-Card use was critical issue to system implementation • Major impact on how DOT proceeded with project and which internal staff needed to be involved and communications with vendors

19. MyFloridaMarketPlacePilot Update Training • Involved six weeks of full time commitment of 25 key Procurement staff during May and June in order to train DOT’s planned number of users (1200) • Train the trainer sessions took three weeks – first week was presenting initial training – second week was procedural analysis – how to integrate procedural changes required into training - third week was revising training • Three weeks to train approximately 1200 users – requestors and approvers • Invaluable experience for trainers to learn system

20. MyFloridaMarketPlacePilot Update Vendor Registration • Agency role in vendor registration has not been clear • Placed notice on DOT Web Site about registration • Sent letters in May to all DOT SPURS vendors telling them to register • Since June have been involved with individual assistance to vendors conducting business with DOT • Help Desk and Agency responsibilities require ongoing clarification

21. MyFloridaMarketPlacePilot Update Current Status • Production issues have been raised and are being resolved – but have required “work arounds” • As of August 1, DOT has entered 282 Requisitions resulting in 158 Purchase Orders • Invoicing module not available pending DFS date for FLAIR interface – work load and control issue – intend to continue to use P-Card to minimize invoices until DFS approval is received • System issues and workarounds have resulted in frustration and decline in user acceptance since training • Re-training will be required once approval from DFS for FLAIR interface/invoicing is obtained and DMS gives the go-ahead for all state contracts to be entered
