Research Equipment Purchases with Computers or Software

Purchasing research equipment that includes computer hardware components (separate or integrated) and/or software should include an IT support review before the purchase is started to ensure compliance with UT, ISO, and State of Texas requirements. Engaging your IT Support Team prior to purchase helps to ensure your equipment is secure, compliant, and properly inventoried—reducing administrative overhead by saving time, frustration, avoiding returns, lost funds and rework later. Work with your contracted IT support team to ensure that your purchases follow computer hardware and software requirements.
