Technology Requisition Process

Technology Requisition Process

The demand for technology and technology-related services at College of the Mainland is increasing dramatically. As technology becomes more sophisticated and faculty, staff, and students become more sophisticated users, the cost of obtaining, supporting, and servicing technology is also increasing.

In an effort to better service COM, Information Technology Services has developed a standard equipment list. Standardizing on our technology purchases allows Information Technology Services to better obtain, support and service technology in your area.

Our goal is to provide technology and technology support that enables faculty, staff, and students to do their work, research, teaching and learning activities in the most effective and efficient manner. Given that the budget is not unlimited, we must attend to costs and attempt to limit the costs to available resources in the budget.
