Technology requests that will be used to support Central Piedmont’s mission and values.
Responsible Area/Positions
- All Central Piedmont Units

Procedure
- Submit a new technology service inquiry using the Team Dynamix client portal.
- Requests that are not standard hardware and/or software will be reviewed by ITS to ensure there is not already a current solution, there is no duplication of efforts across multiple Central Piedmont units, and that the product meets Central Piedmont’s security and infrastructure standards.
- If the request requires a project, a Charter will be generated by ITS outlining the business requirements by the requester, estimated cost, estimated resource load, and how the request aligns with the strategic objectives of Central Piedmont.
- Standard hardware/software and hardware/software that have gone through the above review process, not approved as a project, and/or not already funded will go on the Technology Request list for consideration.
- Each October, all items on the Technology Request list will be reviewed and prioritized by Cabinet based upon projected funding and available resources.
- A project request will be generated by ITS for all technology requests approved for funding that require assistance from the ITS Project Management Office.
- The Executive Director of General Management and Program Management and Office will send a communication to the Central Piedmont Leadership Council (including Procurement) notifying them of technology requests approved for funding for the following fiscal year.
- Approved technology requests will be listed in the projected expenses (for the appropriate fiscal year) within the ITS unit “College-Wide Technology” budget.
- Technology requests not approved will remain on the Technology Request list for future consideration when resources and/or funding become available.
