eBINDER

All applicants and service providers must retain information relating to the funding process to include pre-bidding, bidding, contracts, the application process itself, invoicing, the provision of services, and other matters relating to the administration of the universal service fund for a period. ADS Advanced Data Services, Inc. has created mye-binder, an Internet based tool to accurately capture and link this data.

Mye-binder is designed to help applicants maintain compliance with the E-Rate Program. The system retains Strategic Planning and Approval documents, USAC Forms, Certifications and Letters, Competitive Procurement (bidding, evaluation, and contracts), Program Integrity Assurance, Selective Review Information Requests, Invoicing, Payments, Reimbursement, Reconciliation, Service Delivery, Inventory Management, Change Requests and Appeal Information - creating a complete electronic packet that is audit ready.
