UIS COMPUTER REPLACEMENT CYCLE: MANAGING YOUR COMPUTER NEEDS

• Once you have joined the Replacement Cycle Program, your department will be put on a regular schedule.  This will enable you to have an idea of each time you are due for new computers in your department.  As a result you will be able to plan accordingly and allocate the necessary funds for your budget.
  
  
• UIS will automatically contact your department and will manage and organize the information and procedures necessary to successfully complete the process.  As a part of this process we will take care of the ordering, receiving, configurating and deploying of your new computers.  In addition to this, we will ensure that your old computers are removed and disposed of or recycled properly.
  
  
• By putting your department on a cycle, you will be keeping up with the latest technology in computers.  Your computer will be under a 4 year warranty and will be supported by UIS.  This will result in effective support for the lowest cost.
  
  
• As a part of the configuration process we will install the latest operating system and the most up to date versions of all of the standard Georgetown University applications.  
  
  
• When the replacement process has been completed, we will give you a report which will include the user names and computer serial numbers that were installed.  We will also offer you the option of setting up a follow-up meeting, in order to give you the opportunity to let us know if there are any loose ends that need to be taken care of.  It also enables you to present any ideas you might have that we could incorporate into future deployments.
