What is CSUBUY?
The CSUBUY P2P system is a fully integrated platform designed to streamline procurement and payment operations across the CSU. This implementation will:
- Automate and consolidate procurement and payment processes
- Reduce manual reconciliation and increase visibility into spending
- Improve internal controls, compliance, and customer service
- Support a systemwide strategy (Multi-U) to manage rising costs and improve service deliver
Compliance with CSU Accessible Technology Initiative
The Purchase Acquisition Authorization Process allows for reviews of all technology-related acquisitions (purchased or obtained at no cost) to comply with CSU Accessible Technology Initiative(opens in a new tab) and University Information Security(opens in a new tab) Requirements. The CSU mandates all campuses make its programs, services, and activities accessible to persons with disabilities. This includes students, faculty, staff, and the general public who visit or attend a campus sponsored event. Section 508(opens in a new tab) of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 requires the University to consider accessibility standards for all technology products and services that it buys, creates, uses and maintains regardless of cost or funding source.
Acquisitions that fall under one or more of the following categories are subject to this process:
- Electronic Content
- Hardware
- Software
- Web
- IT Services
See About Technology Acquisitions for more information about the overall purchase review process, including specifics for the VPAT and ISO reviews, and detailed information about the Section 508 categories.
