In April, after 16 months of intensive collaboration between ITS, the Budget Office, Business Process Solutions, department administrators, and our implementation partner LSI consulting, the SAP Budget and Planning (SBP) module officially launched in the Weill Business Gateway (WBG).

In total, 238 people visited the library for Excel Month, a record-breaking number of attendees in the three years since ITS launched its Tech Tuesday program.

Join us for a great new schedule of demonstrations for faculty, staff, and students. Each week, our experts will showcase various software and tools, and answer your questions on how these resources can help you in your work at WCM.
