[SSC_ContractAdmin] Upcoming Meeting

[Beaty, Ms. Lori]

For Tarleton, we asked SSC to implement Smartsheet on our campus.  Prior to that, approval of billable work orders was via email and it was difficult to track.  I agree there are other areas of improvement needed, but we found Smartsheet to make approval of billables more efficient.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] RE: Upcoming Meeting

Simply my two cents... I am not sure what Smartsheet is, but why are we letting SSC implement another program, software, or business practice when we still have issues with current and past business processes and programs.

We should think about putting the brakes on for anything new SSC wants to implement until we get them to work on improving what is already in place like manpower, response, and their attendance policy and how that affects their staffing levels...

Was this what you mentioned at the last meeting?  So how does this complement MC?  Could we see a demo of it?

For us, Smartsheet supplements MC. It gives us the ability to capture the billing approvals for billable work orders only. That process involves folks who don't utilize MC.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: [SSC_ContractAdmin] Upcoming Meeting

Why would they be implementing Smartsheet when they have tools within Maintenance Connection? Is this to supplement Maintenance Connection or a replacement for PVAMU?  Just trying to understand why different tools are being used at different campuses.  I understand the uniqueness of our respective campuses, but still look at how we can achieve greater efficiencies by working with what is readily available.

Brian, not sure how many other campuses use SmartSheets, but SSC is in the process of implementing it at PVAMU.  If it has a widespread use/adoption, that could be another training opportunity.

Thx & Rgds,

Good afternoon,

Does anyone have any topics they would like to discuss at a TBD meeting?

I'm still working with Richard Gentry to get Maintenance Connection access for everyone. The plan is to then do a Webex training and record it for future viewing by anyone else who gets access.

Thanks,

Brian
