All employees who purchase software and software-based applications.
Policy Detail:
To assist university employees in the updated software purchasing process, Business Services and Information Technology Services (ITS) departments have created a Software Request Form which will define the technical, functional, and compliance requirements required to assist in guiding the purchase. This BP Logix Form will require the requestor to enter information regarding the software they are looking to buy. This form will then be routed to Procurement, ITS, and Contract Administration for review and approval. If approved, the form will need to be entered into Workday by the requester and should also include the associated quote plus any additional relevant documentation. If the software is purchased using a PCard, the approved form along with the standard supporting documentation should be included with PCard submissions and entered as an Expense Report via the Expenses Hub in Workday.
