Who are we?
The Global Networks Supply Chain team falls under the P&I area and is headed up by Vijal Shah and
support by a team based in Manila, working shifts to cover your local time zone and to help with all your
ordering requirements.
Meet The Team
Kristine Faris (Maria, Tine) has previously worked with Equinix Service Desk for 5 years and brings with
her a familiarity of Equinix systems as a Subject Matter Expert and Supervisor to GAM and New Hires. She
is now leading the Supply Chain Team and 3 analysts named Jan Domingo, Melissa Uy (Issa) and
Pauline Udasco (Pau) to cater requests for all purchase orders related to Goods and Services.
We also had Charles Rebebes join in April. He started working for Equinix NetOps then moved to GTS_PR
team and is now with Global Networks Team to help in managing all Purchase Orders related to
Connectivity.
What does that mean for me?
Supply Chain tool (also available via PingOne) is your one-stop application where you can
request PO’s for any goods and/or Services. If you are part of the Global Networks Team and
need a Purchase Order under Cost Center 738 and 358, you are required to use the tool. The only
exception is items ordered via IT like Headsets, Mobiles, Laptops etc.
BENEFITS!
1. Orders are processed efficiently. Shorten the time of PO turnaround process.
2. One stop tool. All necessary information (e.g. PO number, Copy of PO, Delivery date) needed will
be in the Supply Chain tool.
3. You will no longer need to coordinate (unless it's for complex BOMs and quotes) with suppliers
because quotations will be obtained by the Supply Chain.
4. A copy of the quote will be uploaded in this tool and will be sent to Lead Engineers for review (to
confirm correct localisaiton e.g. Power cables) and approval.
5. The relevant Project Codes, Budget Reference, Commodity Codes and Proof of Purchase will
be allocated for you by the team.
6. Tracking of the arrival of your ordered materials or services will be available in this tool as well as
the Equinix Inbound Shipment ticket associated to your request.
7. We ensure that POs are fully invoiced and paid and copies of these documents are uploaded in
the tool without going through the details in Coupa
