SERVICES

Central IT Purchasing

IT Purchasing provides support services to JKU departments and institutes by purchasing hardware and software. The department ensures good management practices by managing orders, reviewing requests, comparing offers submitted by suppliers, submitting orders, accepting products, and maintaining inventory. One of the team's core responsibilities in the area of hardware is purchasing standard IT workstations and providing accessories.

License Management

Should managing software licensing continue to fall under the responsibility of the central purchasing department, the team is not only responsible for acquisition and purchasing, but also for managing all of the corresponding licensing in a comprehensive and transparent manner as well as providing user support to plan and implement upgrading and (any) license adjustments.
