Hardware & Software Procurement

NIC has adopted a bulk technology purchasing model that maximizes cost savings and implementation efficiency. To purchase equipment, please contact the appropriate Information Technology analyst by one of the four Quarterly Purchase deadlines, which are July 15th, November 15th, February 15th and May 15th:

• Faculty:
  Steve Taylor, ITS Supervisor, MOL 212, x7832

  Staff:
  Kraig Lytle, Analysis and Research Coordinator, MOL 212, x7823

If you wish to request items that are not on the 'Standards' lists, please refer to 'Exceptions & Appeals'.

Standards

Standards exist to protect the considerable investment that the college has in the equipment, software, and knowledge-base of the employees to successfully operate information technology equipment.

• Standard Applications at NIC
• Hardware Standards at NIC
• Exceptions & Appeals to Purchasing Standards

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.
