Asset Management And Vendor Relations

The Client Services department is responsible for computer hardware and software asset inventory as well as all licenses, support, and maintenance agreements associated with technology purchases. We help offices to ensure that hardware and software acquisitions integrate well into 糖心短视频app’s information technology environment, that any risk, security exposure, or liability associated with an IT acquisition is identified before the purchase is made, and that the University achieves the maximum value from any IT investment.

Benefits

Benefits of purchasing hardware and software in collaboration with IT includes:

  • Discounts and educational pricing from existing contracts, consortiums, and agreements
  • Quantity pricing (if applicable) and exclusion of sales tax due to University’s tax exempt status
  • Utilizing existing site licensed software to save budget dollars
  • Tracking of asset through entire lifecycle
  • Compatibility checks for use on our network configuration and desktop setups
  • License agreement review for compliance
  • Streamlined installations

Requirements

This process applies to all full and part-time University employees and the purchase of all IT equipment, including desktop computers, laptops, tablet devices, software and peripherals. 

Asset Disposal

All computers purchased with university funds remain the property of the University until disposed of by IT. Failure to return University-owned equipment, software, or data upon leaving the University or at the request of the University may result in legal action or obligate the employee to reimburse the University for the value of the equipment.

A computer that is returned to inventory and no longer meets the minimum configuration is disposed of through a licensed IT asset disposal company. 

Exceptions

Requests for exceptions to the IT  purchase process should be submitted to Deanna Beyrent, Manager of Client Services. It will be reviewed and approved by the CIO in consultation with the appropriate Dean or Vice President. Department budgets will be charged for the cost of any enhancements to the standard hardware configurations or additions to the Central Microcomputer Budget listed in .

Technology Purchasing and Replacement Process

Computers are essential equipment for the University. The purpose of this document is to outline the process by which University personnel acquire IT equipment. The goal of the process is to ensure each employee has a suitable computer to perform their assigned responsibilities while also providing prudent stewardship of University resources. 

To achieve cost savings for the University by leveraging collective buying power, educational discounts, and to accommodate security considerations when implementing new software and hardware, purchases should be made in consultation with Deanna Beyrent, Manager of Client Services.

Purchase Guidelines

All University owned IT hardware and software should be purchased and disposed of through IT. Computers should not be purchased by individuals using personal or departmental credit cards. A Central Microcomputer Budget has been established to fund all computer purchases. Purchases must adhere to University procurement and technology policies and standards, e.g. information security, acceptable use, bid process, etc. 

All IT hardware and software purchases $5000 and greater require a review by IT for approval as stated in Section 4.1 of the Purchasing Card Policies & Procedures through the Purchasing Department.
