How to Buy Software at UCM

Overview

This guide outlines the process for software purchases by departments

Procedure

Follow the procedure to purchase software at UCM:

1. Start with UCMarket: First, submit a request (called a requisition) through UCMarket. This kicks off the process.
2. Follow the Rules: All software purchases must follow UCM’s purchasing policies. These rules make sure everything is approved and secure.
3. Office of Technology (OT) Review: After your request is submitted, the Office of Technology will receive a notification to review it. They’ll make sure the software meets UCM’s standards and check if any support is needed.
4. Might Follow Up: Someone from OT may reach out to ask a few questions, like whether the software needs to be installed on a server or if you'll need tech support.
