Purchasing
Units supported by CAS IT are required to make purchases of computer equipment through IT. IT supports standard hardware for most users. The purpose of these standards is two-fold.
- To make support of these machines more efficient.
- To determine the best value for departments, considering long-term performance and price.
We want this to be as easy a process as possible for departments. To make a purchase, just submit a ticket with information on what you're looking to purchase.
We will provide a quote and ask any questions. After that quote is provided, you need only to reply to the ticket with a billing FOAPAL.
While you'll always receive an exact quote and prices do change frequently, below are current prices for supported equipment to assist with your planning. These prices are current as of October 2012.
