About this file
The document is an email chain from the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) regarding the purchase approval of Powtoon, a software tool for creating engaging videos and presentations. The communication involves several employees including Shantelle Hill (Training Supervisor), Leonard Smith, Candace Allen, Shanna Bagner, Tiffany Bryant, and Karen Turnau, who are coordinating the software acquisition through their organizational development, diversity and inclusion, and HR training departments.
Powtoon is a Pro Plus software package priced at $708 annually or $59 monthly, which will provide full access to the program's video creation capabilities. The software was approved by the agency's tech council and is intended to be purchased through a Paycard transaction. Its primary use will be for creating 20-minute presentations and short informational videos such as session advertisements and learning boost materials. The software will be shared across multiple teams including Organizational Development (OD), Diversity & Inclusion (D&I), and HR's Neo training program. The purchase was explicitly approved by OIS (Office of Information Services) after being presented at the tech council meeting.

Candace, It has been approved by OIS so I think it is a P-card purchase. I need to touch base with Shantelle again. Tiffany is on board and has approved.

This was approved at our tech council for your office to purchase. You may purchase this through the Paycard transaction – See your Pcard holder Len Smith and seek any internal EBS approvals as required.
