Technology Equipment Purchases

In order for the Associate Vice President of Information Technology to approve technology based purchase requests certain information should be attached to the purchase requisition. For example, downloading vendor specific information will be sufficient in most cases.

These items are necessary in making decisions for technology purchases and help us to speed up the processing of requests that must be approved by Information Technology. If a computer is being purchased, the following information would be helpful:
