What is MyFloridaMarketPlace? MyFloridaMarketPlace is an eProcurement (electronic procurement) system MyFloridaMarketPlace covers the full life cycle of purchasing (from requisition to payment) MyFloridaMarketPlace connects buyers and vendors through the electronic exchange of catalogs, quotes, bids, purchase orders, invoices, etc. MyFloridaMarketPlace includes all purchases made with the State of Florida MyFloridaMarketPlace includes a variety of tools for bids, quoting and invoicing Katie: Many companies and public sector institutions have begun implementing e-procurement as a way to significantly streamline their purchasing processes. Reference points on slide You can mention the following examples to support the savings and benefits of e-procurement. Data from Ariba Buyers that demonstrate cost and time savings: Processing Costs Reduced - 25% to 80%, Processing Quality Improved - 30% to 60%, Processing Time Decreased - 30% to 60%, On-line eQuotes save a minimum of 10% over traditional means of issuing quotes Florida saw a great opportunity to realize similar savings by streamlining its business processes through an E-Procurement System. Receive Order Source Request Pay Approval

What do vendors say about eProcurement? Here are a few quotes about eProcurement benefits realized by eProcurement vendors participating in other electronic markets “We see significant benefits in being early adopters of eBusiness and believe it will give us a competitive advantage. We believe the greatest benefit comes from complete integration of orders into our back office system thereby reducing manual intervention.” Alan Powell, Arco “We have achieved a 20% savings on our order management costs.” French Thornton Supplier Survey, Jan 21, 2002 “We started off with manual order entry, but we now conduct 80% of our business electronically. We’re not only reaping impressive time and cost-savings benefits, but also improving our customer relations.” Nick Hermann, CIO at Organic Farm Foods “We are in a low margin field and don’t want to increase headcount. We see automation as a way of growing without the heads.” Quotes from other vendors sessions?

Why MyFloridaMarketPlace? MyFloridaMarketPlace will help to streamline the processes for doing business with the State. What’s Different? Electronic purchase orders One face to the state Electronic quotes Vendor registration Ability for vendors to maintain company information online What’s the Same? Your relationship with agencies Use of contracts Subject to State purchasing rules Katie: Many companies and public sector institutions have begun implementing e-procurement as a way to significantly streamline their purchasing processes. Reference points on slide You can mention the following examples to support the savings and benefits of e-procurement. Data from Ariba Buyers that demonstrate cost and time savings: Processing Costs Reduced - 25% to 80%, Processing Quality Improved - 30% to 60%, Processing Time Decreased - 30% to 60%, On-line eQuotes save a minimum of 10% over traditional means of issuing quotes Florida saw a great opportunity to realize similar savings by streamlining its business processes through an E-Procurement System.

Vendor Benefits Vendor Benefits Moving to advanced business technology benefits all vendors. The MyFloridaMarketPlace system provides: Opportunity to generate additional business and increase sales Potential for selling a broader range of goods and services through increased visibility of products and/or services (vendor searches, catalog searches) Potential for finding additional customers through increased visibility across agencies (access to additional state agencies and local FL governments) Opportunity to streamline operations and decrease operating expenses Potential for increased order accuracy and order processing speed through receipt of electronic purchase orders Potential for decreased labor costs per order through use of electronic invoicing Potential for decreased shipping and handling costs that result from shipping wrong goods or wrong quantity of goods due to order errors Opportunity to shorten order-to-cash cycle and improve cash flow Potential to shorten invoice processing time through vendor automation of invoicing and State automation of matching Potential to shorten the payment approval process through electronic approvals

Vendor Benefits Vendor Benefits Access to Untapped Buyers All vendors, including MBE(Minority Business Enterprise) and CMBE(Certified Minority Business Enterprise) vendors, should receive benefits from using advanced business technology. Access to Untapped Buyers State of the Art Tools Available Customer Support Enhanced Economic Development Opportunities for Small Business Reduced Administrative Burdens and Manual Processes Saying to yourself – See the process now – looks simple – why should I want to use this system Three key reasons why you, as a business person, will want to use the system: 1. Simplicity – step by step guide and assistance – point and click functionality Access – this tool will open new doors to buyers you aren’t reaching now – Market places Efficiency – reduces paper work, cuts time – shortens the cycle between PO and payment Single point of registration – Vendors register once and information is then available to all State buyers using the system. The system uses state of the art tools (electronic quoting) to provide a consistent and more efficient way of doing business with the State. MyFloridaMarketPlace enhances economic development opportunities for small business by leveling the playing field and increasing access to participating buyers Using MyFloridaMarketPlace reduces administrative burdens and manual processes– purchase orders can be “flipped” to become invoices without manual intervention Service and support is available through online training, communications, a vendor help desk and contract specialists for State Term Contract Vendors

Is there a fee? No cost to register for MyFloridaMarketPlace There is a 1% fee on all State purchases. This creates the opportunity for your business to: Gain access to new markets Have state of the art procurement tools Vendors must be registered in MyFloridaMarketPlace in order to respond to solicitations or enter into new agreements These guidelines are established as part of rule language that helps to clarify Florida Statute 287-  a link to this rule language will be included in the "I Accept Language" The fee is not new. The state currently uses fees with State Term Contracts, SNAPS agreements.

How the fee will be collected Self Reporting How will the Fee be collected? How the fee will be collected Self Reporting Self Reporting is keeping track of the invoices you send to the state and then monthly, sending a check to the state for 1% of the total. Currently, State Term Contract vendors self report fees from their State Term Contract Self reporting will be done on a monthly basis beginning July 1 Forms and instructions for completing the self-reporting process are available on-line on the MyFloridaMarketPlace website We will be moving to a Billing and Collection method for all business conducted through the MyFloridaMarketPlace system and eventually to an automatic deduction method with the implementation of a new accounting system.

Myths and Misperceptions about eProcurement Perception/Concern Approach to Resolve Concern “My business is not technologically advanced, so I can’t participate in eProcurement” Help Desk to assist vendors in using new technology Basic internet connectivity needed “I need to purchase a computer to do business with the State” Other options available to access equipment (Public Library, Small Business Development Centers, One Stop Center, etc.) “The 1% fee is unfair to small businesses” No registration fee, only pay if they get orders from the State Flat rate applied to all equally “I’ve heard that the registration process is too complicated” Registration screens walk the vendor through step by step processes Help Desk Assistance is available “I will have limited contact with Purchasing Agents” Current contacts not eliminated MyFloridaMarketPlace is streamlining the manual processes associated with Procurement Myths and misconceptions about MBEs and eProcurement Talk about each one
