So I just started Blogging and I am already behind!

Recently NAEB New England co-sponsored an event with the Massachusetts State Colleges and Universities. The one-day drive conference was about “Strategies for Achieving Savings” but it could equally have been titled “How Technology Can Help You Achieving Savings.”

Without fail, every single presentation was about how one of us applied technology to a problem.

UMass Dartmouth talked about applying cutting edge print technology.

Salem State shared how they changed their campus culture by rethinking their website.

Fitchburg State talked about Electronic Purchase order Delivery.

And that is only a portion of what was presented!

Across our region there are folks rolling out e-procurement tools, mining data for cost savings, and even NAEB New England is getting ready to roll their new web-site.

The technology at our fingertips changes every day. What are you doing to stay ahead of the curve?

Welcome to the NAEB New England President’s Blog.  What is the President’s Blog?  It is the beginning of a new way for NAEB New England to communicate.  Over the next year NAEB New England will see a dramatic shift in how we utilize technology.  You have already seen the new e-mail tools at our disposal and there is a new NAEB New England website on the horizon.  Along with those exciting changes we have launched the blog to serve as a running commentary on NAEB New England, Purchasing in Higher Education and anything else that impacts how we do our jobs.  I am looking forward to the conversation!
