Before making a software or technology purchase, and before engaging a vendor, check with Enterprise Technology & Services (ET&S) - we may already own what you need!
1. To begin think about your business needs.
- Capture the business need: what problem are you solving, or opportunity are you are hoping to realize? Is it in support of one or more of our Strategic Priorities
- Review with your management team.
- Does the business need require a technology solution? If Yes, great!
2. Let's see if we can solve your business need with an existing service or tool.
- Contact us using the Technology Selection and Purchase Request form. Feel free to answer I Don't Know to any questions you aren't sure about yet - get your request in and we will help you.
- Collaboratively and in a timely manner, ET&S will work with you to match your need with an existing service provider or tool.
- Match =
You will be placed in contact with the service team who can best assist you.
3. No match? Let's find a solution.
- ET&S will take your existing Business Needs and gather additional details to work with our partners and determine a path forward.
- If it’s determined that developing an in-house solution is appropriate, a project will be created to gather additional requirements, cost out the effort, and gain approval to commence the development effort.
- If it’s determined that the best course of action is to pursue a commercially-available solution, ET&S will partner with you and USNH Procurement to begin the selection process.
In all cases we will help you navigate the process and will keep you informed along the way.
