Procurement go-lives are authority migrations, not software launch dates
A procurement-system cutover changes who may create, approve and interpret purchasing commitments.
Western Washington University’s JAGGAER deployment illustrates that procurement go-lives are authority migrations, not merely technical releases.
Value depends on explicit cutover rules, supplier-data readiness and a single authoritative status for contracts, requisitions and orders.
The principal failure mode is parallel legacy and new workflows that create conflicting contract, supplier and purchase-order states.
