The Shared Services Center (SSC) has been developing updated training and documentation content to improve our “Procure-to-Pay” process. This work is needed to meet Department of General Services guidelines and help prepare the VCCS for requesting Level 2 Procurement Delegated Authority. The development of the Content Library supports our Level 2 initiative, and we would like to thank all the college volunteers for their input and collaboration in this effort! This is an ongoing effort, and we will continue to add new content as it is developed.

If you are unable to find the information you need, please send an email to help@ssc.vccs.edu to let us know what you are looking for so we can provide links to existing content or let you know if the content is under development. If the information you are looking for is not scheduled for development, we can add it to our list of content to be reviewed for creation.
