Western Marketplace and Contract Management Module transitioning to Jaggaer this summer

Western Marketplace and Contract Management Module transitioning to Jaggaer this summer

May 27, 2026

This summer, Western Marketplace (ESM) and the Contract Management Module (CMM) will transition to a new platform from Jaggaer, moving purchasing, contracts, and vendor management into a single system. This change will reduce manual data entry, improve compliance, and strengthen data management. This change was prompted because the previous systems are no longer being supported by their vendors and no longer meet Western's business needs, but this created an opportunity to improve the user experience, internal reporting, and controls.

Important Dates and Scheduled Downtime

The transition to Jaggaer will require scheduled downtime for both marketplace purchases and new contract submissions. Purchases can still be made using PCards, the Payment Request eSign Form, and the Purchase Order eSign Form. Please see the important dates below.
