Technology Purchases

IT@Sam is your partner for technology purchases at SHSU. Laws, regulations and policies change frequently due to societal changes, increasing risks for loss of information and privacy and we are here to help you wade through all of those regulations to provide for your needs.

Get Started

Submitting your request for a technology purchase is easy. First, check our pre-approved list. If your item is listed, you can proceed with using BearkatBuy or your P-Card (following normal purchasing rules and polices). Next, to request items that are not pre-approved, log into Cherwell, click the Place a Ticket link. Be sure that you include the details of your purchase request including:

• Vendor Name
• Vendor Contact Information (email and phone number)
• Name of Software/Service
• URL of the product
• Quotes
• Any specific timeline needs

In addition, please attach any supplemental documentation that you have regarding your request.
