New procedures for computer purchases begin July 1

Information Systems (IS) and Procurement Services have updated policies on how University computer assets are purchased to provide a more secure computing environment. All Wake Forest University-owned computers will now be purchased through, and managed by, IS Asset Management.

Effective July 1, computer and tablet purchases should be made through the new IS Technology Internal Service Delivery Provider in Workday. This streamlined and standardized process will replace the Help Desk requests for hardware and/or any PCard purchases.

This will not replace the IS-initiated, four-year exchanges for your primary computer. These computer refreshes typically happen for eligible faculty and staff during the Computer Exchange refresh cycle. However, the Workday Procurement Process will be used for new hire requests, secondary computing/tablet requests, work-study computers, or other computing needs.
