Checklist for New Information Systems & Services
Hamilton College regularly licenses software and services to store and manipulate data in support of college activities. In order to fully evaluate systems and services and associated costs, and assure that the providers comply with information security, accessibility and legal requirements, we developed the following checklist.
Anyone considering the purchase of such software or services should contact the VP for Libraries and Information Technology (jshelley@hamilton.edu) or the Director, Enterprise Information Systems (msweeney@hamilton.edu) to assure the steps are followed.
When submitting a request for a new software or service, there is one question then four parts:
- Do I need to involve the Enterprise Information Committee?
- Discovery
- Procurement
- Implementation
- Post Implementation
Discovery is requested first, then procurement and implementation together, followed by post implementation.
Parties involved are indicated in parentheses ( ).
The Enterprise Information Commitee’s Governance page includes scenarios that require involvement of the Committee. If it doesn’t rise to the level of EIC involvement, it still needs to go through the process outlined below.
