Procurement of Hardware and Software Procedures

Users may browse the Recommended Hardware Menu, and then contact the Technology Support Center at tsc@ucmo.edu to initiate their ordering process with the Office of Technology.  The Technology Support Center will provide the requestor with a work ticket number, and then that work ticket is routed within the Office of Technology (OT) to appropriate OT staff members.

OT staff members will use the information submitted on the form to create a cart in UCMarket.  That cart will contain everything necessary to complete the installation of the device/package that was requested.  When the cart is complete, it will be assigned to the individual within the requestor's department who is responsible for placing orders in UCMarket.

The individual placing the order in UCMarket should make no changes to the cart.  If there is a problem with the cart, the individual should send an email to the TSC referencing their concerns/questions, and include the work ticket number for the order.  An OT staff member will then work with the individual ordering the equipment to re-submit the cart for final order placement.

If you have any questions about this process, please contact the Technology Support Center at tsc@ucmo.edu or 660-543-4357.

Purchasing Software

All software purchases at the University of Central Missouri must be submitted for Office of Technology Approval through the procurement process. 

This process applies to New Software, Renewal Software, Subscriptions, Domains (new and renewals), and anything that requires an End User License Agreement (EULA).

If you are looking at software for your office or classroom at UCM, please check the Site-Licensed Software list to see if UCM has the application that will meet your needs.
