The new computer equipment review process is designed to maximize current and future equipment compatibility, ensure competitive pricing and verify warranties and service agreements. As funds are available, the College and Departments will continue to purchase computer equipment, computer upgrades, peripheral devices, software, and software upgrades.
Prior to the purchase of computer equipment and software, a request for specific computer-related software and a description of intended equipment use must be forwarded to, Devin Taylor. This will allow IT to ensure equipment or software is compatible with OUHSC technology and network systems and that appropriate support services are available. A product review will be required for most software programs other than those provided by the university as a part of the standard productivity software.
In addition, all new Computer Equipment Purchases and related equipment must go through the Information Security Risk Assessment process. See sections 2.1 & 2.2 for more information regarding computer and software purchases.
