Colleges and administrative units planning to replace old and out-of-warranty computers should consider making these as soon as possible to improve the chances of receiving equipment before the end of the current fiscal year.
While Dell computers are currently shipping with minimal wait time, there is no guarantee on how long the inventory will last. Until global supply chain issues subside, University customers could again find themselves facing delays of weeks or months. Information Technology Services and Procurement Contracting and Payment Services strongly encourage units to avoid frustration at the end of the fiscal year by planning for and completing these purchases in Mountaineer Marketplace now.
If your college or unit has its own IT support, work with your respective team to submit orders well before the end of the budget year. If you are supported by ITS, submit a ticket for assistance. If you plan to hire employees in fall 2022, ITS recommends you purchase equipment for them before June 30.
