Jefferson Lab Updates: New e-Commerce System Roll Out Next Week, 
Director's Briefing Slides Available on Insight

*Lab Director's Briefing Slides Available on Insight*
The presentation that Lab Director Hugh Montgomery gave to all divisions 
this fall is now available on Insight. The briefing featured a status 
report on the 12 GeV Upgrade project, a look at future plans for the 
lab, highlights of the lab's safety and sustainability programs, and 
much more. The briefing is located in the Announcements section of Insight.

*Lab Plans to Roll Out New E-commerce System*
The lab is preparing to roll out a new e-commerce system next week.

During 2012, MIS and Procurement started migrating to the new e-commerce 
system hosted externally by Government Scientific Source (GSS). The GSS 
application will replace Webstock, which was internally developed and 
maintained by lab staff.

A milestone was achieved on Dec. 17, when a limited-scope system 
implementation of the new system occurred for a small group of JLab 
e-commerce users. This group will continue initial testing of the new 
system until Wednesday, Jan. 9. On that day, the new e-commerce system 
will be rolled out lab-wide. GSS staff will be onsite that day to 
provide training sessions. The location and times for the sessions will 
be announced as soon as details are worked out.

GSS staff also will attend the JLab Vendor Fair and Long Shutdown Safety 
Meeting on Thursday, Jan. 10 to provide support and answer questions. 
GSS will then provide additional support as needed.

The Webstock application will be officially retired in February.
