Asset Management And Vendor Relations

Client Services 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 日本av视频’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 日本av视频 achieves the maximum value from any IT investment.
Technology Purchasing and Replacement Process
Computers are essential equipment for the 日本av视频. The purpose of this document is to outline the process by which 日本av视频 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 日本av视频 resources.
To achieve cost savings for the 日本av视频 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 Client Services Manager.
Purchase Guidelines
All 日本av视频 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 日本av视频 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.
