ITS Update: Department computer buy opens November 5

Posted: 08:34:37, Tuesday, Nov 5, 2019   Expiration: 08:34:37, Monday, Nov 25, 2019  

The computer buy for Winter 2019 opens today, Nov. 5. This year and going forward, the buy includes both PC and Apple products.

Departments on all campuses must have orders to their Support - ITS Support Liaison by Friday, Nov. 22.  Specification sheets for available models and accessories are posted in this ITS Knowledge Base. Contact your liaison for prices.

Branch campuses will work with your local IT Support Liaisons, Marilyn Peckham (RLN) and Patti Mitch (BRB).

Not sure which computer suits you?  Available PC models will be set up for trial in the ITS Help Desk on the first floor of Karrmann Library on the Platteville during regular business hours through Friday, Nov. 22.  Stop by and try before you buy!

NOTE: Employees at Richland and Baraboo Sauk County should contact their IT Support Liaisons directly if they would like to arrange a “test drive”.

 Purchasing Macs and iPads

Apple products will now be purchased on the same ordering cycle as PCs following the same process.  Your Support - ITS Support Liaison will provide you with two different spreadsheets, one for Apple products and one for PC products. If you have any questions, or would like a more customized Apple product outside of what is on the sheet, please contact Kris Kreul at kreulkr@uwplatt.edu for more information.
