Background and Discussion:

The Procure to Pay process improvement workstream has identified short-term tactical and long-term strategic opportunities.

Of the strategic systems initiatives, the AIR 3.0 project - run by Universal Services - in collaboration with the Auditor's Office is underway with an expected delivery date of June 2024. The Contract Lifecycle Management initiative was kicked off in March with the newly assigned Universal Services project team in collaboration with the County Attorney's office.

Recommended phasing of new hires and functional transition for the Purchasing team under the Target Operating Model has been developed, together with associated organizational charters and training materials, with new hires approved at the last Court meeting.

Improvements in invoice aging achieved during the tactical initiatives have been sustained.

Additional background is attached.
