How do I get Atlas RFP?

How is this different than the legacy RFP application on atlas.mit.edu ?

There are several differences:

Atlas RFP moves all expense processing into Coupa. Cost object and AP approvals will be done in Coupa (similar to PO-backed Invoice approvals)
External suppliers will now have to register as an 'RFP Supplier' in the Coupa Supplier Portal where they can be paid by direct deposit. This speeds up the payment process and reduces the dependency on check payments.
The app is available on web and native apps for iOS, Android, Windows, MacOS. Uploading receipts via your mobile device is more streamlined.
