<b>Lab Director's Briefing Slides Available on Insight</b><br>

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

<b>Lab Plans to Roll Out New E-commerce System</b><br>
The lab is preparing to roll out a new e-commerce system next week.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
The Webstock application will be officially retired in February.<br>
