The IT Procurement team at Sacred Heart University manages the acquisition of University-owned technology to ensure all purchases are cost-effective, secure, and compliant with institutional standards and strategic goals.
We support the purchase of IT hardware, software, and related services, coordinating closely with departments, vendors, and IT Security to maintain licensing compliance and protect University data.
Our team reviews all technology-related requests — including hardware purchases, laptop assignments, software license requests, and contract reviews — to ensure they align with University policies and approved standards.
Even if a request involves free software or equipment, it must still be submitted for IT review to confirm compatibility, security, and supportability.
Please use the links below to access individual services for laptop requests, custom hardware, software agreements, and special licenses.
