Software procurement and licensing
We’ve partnered with Accessibility as well as NAU’s Contracts, Purchasing, and Risk Management (CPRM) department to develop a process for purchasing technology that aligns with NAU’s current policies and needs. This process is under constant refinement, so we appreciate your patience as we grow and improve to better serve the community.
How it works
1. Gather supporting documentation from the vendor
You’ll first gather documentation from the vendor, and ask them to fill out some required forms.
2. Determine if you need to complete a Purchase Request
You’ll need to find out if you are required to complete a purchase request. If so, an assigned buyer will work with you to complete the necessary paperwork.
3. Complete the ITS Checklist
The ITS checklist ensures that the technology sought meets NAU’s standards for accessibility, security, as well as other technical factors.
