Requesting New Academic Applications

Feb 17, 2023

Services available:

Requesting a new academic application is more of a process than a service. The process is:

  • Get a list of three similar softwares

  • Get demos and run them on the computers where the class is held

  • Compare, contrast, and negotiate license pricing 

  • Give recommendations

Please note this process will take several weeks and requires participation not only from Information Services (IS) employees, but also from the user who is requesting the new application. IS is involved in the evaluation process to ensure the software operates securely and that our infrastructure can handle it. These findings will be documented in IS document management system for future use or requests. 

What kind of support can I receive regarding these services?

  • Organize demos 

  • Help find competitors 

  • Schedule rooms for demos 

  • Review specs of hardware required

Basic troubleshooting?

This process and IS has asked the requester to be involved in it. We do not have any troubleshooting steps until the application is selected for purchase.

How do I get help?
