Can we preload all our eProcurement suppliers to be invited?
The suppliers need to be able to log in to their accounts, which is what the separate registration is for. Also, if they do not complete that registration, if they are invited to an event, they will not be able to respond. Their emails will not be linked appropriately.

Can the buyers approve access to a sourcing event? Currently Tu and Laurie have this ability.
The initial approval to use the UW Sourcing Environment (cloud) will only be given by Laurie and Tu at this time to control how information is being approved into that environment. This will only happen once per supplier, once they are in the UW Cloud the supplier can participate in any event upon invitation from the buyer. Once the supplier is in the Cloud, buyers can approve access for suppliers to sourcing events.
How is Ariba data backed up? Is it on internal UW or external servers?
