Analysis

The first step in adding new hardware or software is needs analysis.  Your service provider will assist you in determining the correct choices for your environment and assist in the purchase through institutionally-maintained vendor relations.  In most cases, these relationships will result in lower initial and long-term costs to NIC.  This needs analysis is a crucial step in determining standards on campus.  It also helps ensure a smooth transition in your work environment.
