Definitions

It is recognized that a standard workstation configuration (hardware and software) may not meet the needs of all staff members. Some staff workstations may need to be upgraded because of government regulations or special needs related to their assigned tasks. In order to accomplish the upgrades to staff workstations, the staff member and department supervisor will work with ITS to determine the specific equipment needed; the supervisor will authorize the upgrades and complete the ITS Purchase Requisition Form, in all its particulars. ITS will install the upgrades.

 

Details

The following procedures will be followed when upgrading a staff member’s hardware and/or software configuration of their workstation, and augmenting departmental technology assets.

  1. The staff member will work with Information Technology Services to determine needed equipment/components and/or software.
  2. Departments can request additional computers and equipment outside of workstations (printers, laptops, etc.), and via the ITS Purchase Requisition Form as described on the ITS web site: http://www.claremontmckenna.edu/its/forms/
  3. Using the specific department account number, Information Technology Services will be responsible for ordering, receiving, processing payment, and installing all hardware and software upgrades on behalf of the requesting department.
  4. There is no promise of a four year replacement for technology bought outside of the standard IT capital budgets.
