Overview
This standard outlines the process for requesting new systems and uses of technology at James Madison University (JMU) regardless of their cost, including technology made available to the University at no cost. The process is used to evaluate new technology as well as existing technology that is being expanded.
How can I get this Service?
Those planning for a new technology solution/system must begin early and consider the following items:
- Existing solutions: Determine if an existing campus technology can meet the requestor’s need and if so, the existing campus technology should be used, or the requestor should be prepared to justify the need for a new solution.
- Funding: Validate that a source of funding is available. Be sure to consider initial purchase costs as well as the ongoing cost of the technology.
- Approval: Director/Academic Unit Head (AUH) approval is required prior to a Technology Solution Request (TSR) being submitted.
