Revised Software Procurement Process: For 澳门六合彩开奖appEmployees Seeking to Purchase Software
March 21, 2024
If you鈥檝e purchased software recently, you鈥檝e noticed significant changes to the procedure. This new process aims to simplify and streamline our former review methods, while ensuring regulatory compliance.
Why is the process changing?
In order to comply with regulatory requirements, 澳门六合彩开奖appmust review the data security practices of all software.
How does it work?
The current process contains the following steps:
- When a university employee would like to purchase or renew software intended for use on UA-owned devices, a request will be made via a new form.
- This includes open source, freeware, SaaS, and bulk licensing
- Once the form is submitted, it needs to be acknowledged by the following individuals at your university before it is reviewed for data security and other regulatory compliance:
- Department Approver
- Contract Administrator
- The request is then reviewed for compliance with FERPA, foreign software restrictions, and data security practices, etc. Once the request is approved, the user (and designees) will receive an email that they can move forward with procurement or download.
How do I get started or learn more?
Visit the 澳门六合彩开奖appSoftware Request Process information page, where you鈥檒l find detailed information on the process, as well as a link to the form. You鈥檒l also find links to Contract Administrator guidance and the 澳门六合彩开奖appSoftware Catalog, where you can check to see if your software has already been evaluated. Requests for software currently in the catalog still need to go through an expedited review, and we hope to eliminate this step in the future.
