What is it?
In an effort to provide continuous improvement and a high quality of services regarding all of LSU’s software acquisition needs, Information Technology Services in collaboration with the Digital Resource & Content Committee (DRC), IT Governance Council, and Procurement have introduced a streamlined software acquisition process. Information security, protection of university data, and ensuring LSU is using software products that meet accessibility standards are the fundamental drivers for review of software acquisitions. An additional benefit of the review is to ensure that LSU funds are used efficiently, and duplication of software purchases are reduced where possible.
All acquisitions being made using LSU AgCenter accounts and/or in conjunction with LSU AgCenter research, extension, or administrative functions will need to be reviewed through the LSU AgCenter’s software acquisition approval process referenced at LSU AgCenter Software Acquisitions.
Who is eligible?
