Description
To ensure that computing resources are up-to-date and continue to fulfill our academic and operational needs, SCSU will move to a computer hardware replacement strategy. The primary goal is to replace desktops and laptops every 4-5 years as funding allows.
Primary goals for this strategy include:
• Providing faculty and staff with access to a device/computer with sufficient capability to support basic computing needs in fulfillment of their work responsibilities and the university’s operational needs
• Establishing a centralized budget which provides basic computing resources for university employees
• Implementing core standards for computing resources on campus to focus on mobility for most faculty/staff, desktops for non-mobile employees
• Increase responsiveness and supportability for the university’s installed base of equipment
• Streamlining the specification, acquisition, deployment, and support of new equipment and re-deployment or disposal of old equipment
• Delivery reliability, efficient support, and purchasing, control costs (limit 1 computer to person from $)
• Data security: reduce risk from using an old computer with old operating systems
• increase inventory accuracy and control disposal
• Don’t have a one size fits all (exception process for new hires and/or old systems)
