How to Order a New University-Owned Device
Ordering new devices
Order new devices through our service catalog available at help.medicine.umich.edu.
FY 2021 Purchasing Guidelines
HITS developed new guidelines that govern computer, printer and accessories purchase requests for clinical and shared services customers, effective July 2020. These guidelines strive to help Michigan Medicine better utilize existing equipment within the product life cycle, making the best use of our current device fleet in this tight budget environment. The guidelines outline computer trade-ins and approval processes, printing standards, accessories funding, and more.
Order fulfillment
Our service level goal is to fill orders within two weeks. Custom configurations and special orders will be up to a 4-6 week lead time for delivery, so please consider carefully if a special configuration is required prior to ordering.
Devices procured outside of the HITS device ordering portal are at risk of not being compatible with HITS managed images and may prevent your device from connecting to the network. Because Apple has changed their device enrollment program (DEP), we can no longer deploy CoreMac technology on devices purchased from an Apple retailer.
If you have questions about which models are compatible or have unique requirements, custom order consultation is available through the portal, including scoping devices being used with instrumentation.
What is a University-Owned Device?
University-owned devices are those provided by or paid for by the University of Michigan (including Michigan Medicine). If you bought a device with your own funds and then were reimbursed by U-M, that device would also be considered a university-owned device.
HITS offers four managed computing options for university-owned devices: CoreImage, CoreMac, Kiosk, and Flex. All of these managed computing options provide regular software updates, and are configured to meet security and compliance requirements.
