Purchasing Consortium

Why go through the ITS Service Desk for all your technology purchasing needs? 

 

  • ITS Service Desk can review requirements and access which solution best fits each need. This will also ensure that the new solution is compatible and works within ITS environment standards. 

 

  • ITS Service Desk will help facilitate the purchase. Once they’ve reviewed the technology requirements, they will forward the purchase requests to the ITS Business Operations/Technology Procurement team, which maintain contracts with suppliers and service providers that may have pre-negotiated discounts for hardware, software, and service agreements.  We also hold membership contracts with various Higher Education Consortiums for Trinity University. We will leverage our memberships to obtain discounts to provide our clients with the best prices possible.
