OIT-SPONSORED REPLACEMENT INSTALLATIONS -  SPRING 2008

In an effort to upgrade the current technology on campus for the betterment of ETSU as a whole and reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO), the Office of Information Technology will have available a limited number of computers to dispense.  These computers will primarily be replacing eligible systems that were installed in the Spring 2004 project.  If funds are available, replacements for other systems of eligible positions will be considered. There will be an option of one of three different configurations for Apple computers, or one of four for Dell PCs. Any of the Dell pre-defined upgrades selected will result in the department being charged for the difference between the cost of the base model (Level 1) and the model selected.  All Macs will have a departmental charge associated with them.

All OIT-Sponsored computers installed by OIT in the Spring of 2004 will be picked up and surplused.  Those being replaced must meet the following criteria:

1. Position using the computer must be a full-time, permanent assignment
2. Position cannot be funded in part or in whole by grant or foundation accounts
3. Position must relinquish their existing computer for surplus.  No exceptions and no “trickle-downs” are allowed under this policy
4. Only one computer per person will be allowed.  Split assignments are not considered as being eligible for a new computer each.

(see the full policy at http://www.etsu.edu/oit/ppp/policies/OITSponsored.htm)

Adjunct Faculty, Auxiliary Services, Family Practice personnel, grant-funded or partially grant-funded positions, student workers, or graduate assistants will NOT be eligible for this project.  Eligibility of Physical Plant employees will be evaluated on an individual basis, based on job requirements.
Exceptions are not granted.

CONDITIONS AND TERMS
      I.         PURPOSE

The purpose of this project is to bring into line those employees that are currently using less-than-adequate computer technology in the course of their job duties.  OIT will purchase and maintain the computers.  Each OIT-Sponsored computer will be tagged with a special label to indicate it as such.

OIT will purchase and maintain the computers.  These computers will be available for a 4-year time period.  At the end of that time, should OIT not be able to continue with sponsoring this project, the department MUST take this into consideration when developing their budgets.  These computers must be surplused at the end of the 4 year time period.

II.        STANDARD SOFTWARE CONFIGURATIONS

A basic software image will be installed on each of the computers as they arrive on campus.  OIT will be charged with supporting these software applications on all desktops and laptops. 

Any exceptions to the software configuration will be considered on an individual basis, and should be in direct support of your status as an employee.

III.      RESTRICTIONS FOR OBTAINING AN OIT-SPONSORED COMPUTER

The employee must be in a fulltime, permanent position.  No part-time, temporary employee will be eligible.

In order to obtain an OIT-Sponsored Computer, the user MUST relinquish their current computer.  Except under circumstances that are pre-approved by the Vice-President for Administration, there will be no “trickle-downs”, or swapping around of computers.  It will be a one-to-one replacement, with the old one being surplused by university policy methods.  The only exception to this guideline will be for those employees that currently have no computer at all, or are NEW faculty positions starting in a Fall semester (i.e. not filling a position that currently exists).

Functional network connections should be available prior to any new computer installation.
