    ANSWERS


    What types of registration are available on Intel’s Supplier Presence Site?

    The Intel Supplier Presence Site has two types of registration:

    ·         Standard Registration accounts provide full access to applications and data, and are intended for suppliers receiving more than 25 purchase orders/year from Intel.

    ·         WebSuite Lite accounts provide limited access to applications and data for suppliers receiving fewer than 25 purchase orders/year from Intel.

    Back to Top

     

    How are they different?

    ·         Standard Registration accounts allow users to request access to all applications with no transaction limits.  Applicants for Standard Registration accounts must provide their company’s Intel Supplier ID, and be approved by someone at their company responsible for managing user accounts.

    ·         A WebSuite Lite (WSL) account only allows users to view Purchase Orders (only their most recent 25 PO’s), submit invoices, and track payment status on invoices.  WebSuite Lite accounts are created by Intel for supplier users, who receive an automated e-mail notifying them that the account has been created and explaining how to log in.  WebSuite Lite accounts do not require that users provide a Intel Supplier ID or be approval by an Employee Validation Manager at the user’s company.

    What is a Intel Supplier ID?

    A Intel Supplier ID is a unique nine-digit sequence recognized as a global standard for identifying and tracking over 70 million businesses worldwide. These numbers are given to businesses at the local and global level. A Intel Supplier ID is a unique number identifying your company, its various locations for doing business, and basic information needed by Intel Corporation to do business with your company (such as your billing address).  Intel Supplier ID creates this number and manages the information you provide to them. Intel, as well as other companies, use this identification number to assure the accuracy of the information on file for your company. Intel validates that the information in our databases matches the information that your company has provided to Intel Supplier ID. Any changes that you make in your Intel Supplier ID information can then be easily updated in Intel’s databases, ensuring that we have accurate information about your company.

    How do I find out what my Intel Supplier ID is?

    You can determine your Intel Supplier ID in a way:

    ·         Ask about your company’s Intel Supplier ID internally, possibly in your finance department.

    What is an EVM?

    An Employee Validation Manager (EVM) is responsible for managing each supplier’s user accounts, and their access to confidential data

    For this reason, the EVM has a critical security role.

    Each supplier must identify at least one EVM to manage its users.  If, at any time, a supplier does not have an EVM, all users for that supplier will lose their access until a new EVM is identified.

    Back to Top

     

    Why is an EVM necessary?

    For Standard Registration (full access) accounts, Intel requires that companies manager their own users. 

    This allows suppliers to control access to confidential data.

    Suppliers are more aware of their employees’ job role or employment changes, and are therefore most able to grant or revoke accounts and/or application access based on employment and/or job role changes.

    Back to Top

     

    How can I find out who my company’s EVM is?

    You can see a list of your company’s EVM’s and can send an e-mail to your EVM by following these steps:

    1.   Go to https://Supplier.intel.com/supplierhub/

    What are the responsibilities of an EVM?

    An Employee Validation Manager (EVM) is responsible for the following items:

    ·         Approving or rejecting new user requests for access to applications on Supplier.intel.com

    ·         Revoking user access when accounts are no longer needed or wanted

    ·         Quarterly audits to ensure that user lists are up to date (also known as User Revalidation)

    ·         Re-applying for the EVM role every six months (also known as EVM Revalidation)

    Back to Top

     

    What is ‘User Revalidation’?

    EVM’s should manage their company’s user accounts and application access rights pro-actively.  However, to ensure that this requirement is met, Intel requires that EVM’s “revalidate”, or review and approve or reject employee application access rights every quarter.

    To facilitate this process, Intel sends an e-mail reminder for each user to the EVM(s) at the user’s company requiring that the user’s application access be revalidated within 4 weeks.

    Back to Top

     

    What is the frequency of User Revalidation?

    EVM’s must revalidate user application access every three months.

    Back to Top

     

    What happens if I fail to ‘revalidate’ a user’s application access on time?

    If you fail to revalidate a user’s application access by the due date on the reminder e-mail the application access will be removed from the user.  To restore access to that application the user will have to reapply, and the EVM will have to approve the new application.

    Back to Top

     

    What is ‘EVM Revalidation’?

    EVM Revalidation is the process to periodically validate the EVM’s continued employment at the company.

    This validation must be completed by an Intel employee.  The EVM submits the e-mail address of his/her Intel Contact.  The Intel Contact must then validate that the EVM continues to be employed by the company.

    Back to Top

     

    What is the frequency of EVM Revalidations?

    EVM’s Revalidation must be completed every six months.

    Back to Top

     

    What happens if I fail to ‘revalidate’ my EVM role on time?

    If you fail to revalidate your EVM role by the due date specified on the quarterly reminder e-mail the role will be removed from your account.

    If you are the only Employee Validation Manager for your company, the application access for all users at your company will be revoked until another EVM is identified for your company who can re-approve all application access for your company’s users.

    What is a Vendor ID?

    A Vendor ID, or supplier number, is Intel’s unique identifier for each supplier location.  Specific supplier locations are referred to with a nine-digit identifier number.  Companies (groups of supplier locations) are referred to with a six-digit identifier number.

    Back to Top

     

    How do I find out what my Vendor ID is?

    To find out what your Vendor ID, or supplier number is, you should contact the Intel procurement agent with whom you work most closely.
