Debbie Dunivan, Office Manager for the Talley Center. Congratulations to Debbie who guessed August 31, 2022. The next proposed go-live date for NextGen is November 1, 2022.  Below is the message from DGS Director Joe Damico: Good morning, A little over a month ago, I reached out to let you know DGS was delaying the go-live date for our modernized eVA platform. Since then, our team has worked with our contractor, CGI, to determine the appropriate time needed to ensure delivery of a system that meets your needs and continues Virginia’s tradition of excellence in procurement. I’m pleased to announce the new eVA tool and platform will go live on November 1, 2022. Due to the timing, we have made the difficult decision to cancel our annual Public Procurement Forum in November to ensure our team is available to support you throughout the transition. Our team will reach out to those of you who are registered in the coming weeks with detailed information regarding opportunities for … [Read more...]

Our team has been working diligently to launch the new eVA software platform. We know that you, too, have been working hard to prepare for the transition. This is a huge undertaking, and our goal from the beginning was to deliver a modernized, more user-friendly tool with little to no disruption and without losing any of the current functionality our users have come to depend upon over the years. After hearing input from some of our partners about the upcoming May 2 transition, we have decided to push back the go-live date. This will allow extra time to ensure this new platform will meet our expectations and yours. We are working on a new timeline and will communicate that to you soon, but rest assured we will provide at least 30 days’ notice before the go-live date.  All current eVA functionality will continue as normal at this time. Training on the new system will continue, and it is critical your teams participate in the training to help ensure a smooth transition. Thank … [Read more...]
