When it comes to IT purchases, whether it is for hardware, software, or services, the Office of Information Security is often consulted to assist in making informed and empowered decisions and to encourage cross-discipline cooperation in the purchasing process.
Our office has now published an IT Sourcing Guide to help members of the UW community understand and minimize the risks and maximize the benefits of IT investments. If you are charged with making such purchases and investments, this multi-part guide may help inform, organize, and clarify the decision-making process.
