Procurement at UCLA just got a major upgrade. As part of the Ascend 2.0 financial transformation program, Digital & Technology Solutions (DTS) launched BruinBuy Plus, a modern procure-to-pay system designed to enhance efficiency, visibility, and the user experience. Powered by Jaggaer technology, BruinBuy Plus replaces the legacy BruinBuy system—ushering in a new era of streamlined, intuitive procurement for the UCLA community.
