Notice to the Trade Web Based Supply Chain Management (WBSCM) User Announcement for Windows Vista and XP Operating System Users Only

Date
September 04, 2015

The Agricultural Marketing Service, Commodity Procurement Staff strives to keep WBSCM accessible and secure to all users.  As a result of recent security concerns, some software versions will no longer be supported and will require a modification to certain WBSCM workstations.  Effective January 1, 2016, WBSCM will no longer support, therefore will not be accessible, by workstations running Windows Vista or Windows XP operating systems.  We suggest affected users consult with their local information technology resources for assistance in upgrading to a more recent version of the Windows operating system.  Versions that will be supported by WBSCM are Windows 7, 8/8.1, or 10. 

We have also included a revised chart (Attachment A) that shows the Hardware/Software Requirements, which are minimums, for using WBSCM.  Please be sure your workstations meet these minimum requirements to avoid delays or issues while using WBSCM. 

If you have any questions, please contact the AMS Help Desk at: 1-877-927-2648 or WBSCMAMSHelpDesk@ams.usda.gov
