Type:Effective Practices
Abstract:

Paper purchase requisitions were eliminated at the University of Delaware in 1990. However, the online system that was developed was simply "electronic paper." It did not change the way we make purchasing decisions or the way we conduct business. Procurement cards were distributed on campus about the same time Web retailers became popular. This allowed quick online purchasing... but with no institutional oversight, no institutional discounts, no value added by the purchasing department.
