What’s New in ITP?
To keep the University updated on the services offered by ITP, this page provides information on our current projects and initiatives.
New Preferred Supplier
Information Technology Services (ITS) are currently tendering for a new preferred desktop supplier. During this time, all orders for machines will be put on hold until the tender is finalised. ITP wish to apologise for any inconveniences this may cause and would also like to thank you for your patience and understanding during this time. The new machines will be on offer as soon as the outcome of the tender has been determined.
iProcurement
On the 20th February, iProcurement was released to UWS. ITP is integrating the most popular items into the two IT related stores available on iProcurement. 'IT Stuff' and 'Computers' is where you will find products most frequently asked for at UWS. With the change of preferred suppliers (as mentioned above) in the next 6-8 weeks, ITP asks that the purchases for computers be delayed to coincide with this change. As always, ITP are happy to help with orders, but in the spirit of iProcurement, we will not be creating them in the same way we previously did. We have staff available on ext 7487 who can assist you over the phone to order online.
E-Waste
ITP are happy to share that in 2012 we coordinated 12 tonnes of e-waste - over 90% of which was recycled. If you have any electronic waste that you would like to discard of, please follow the directions on our disposal page.
Fuji Xerox
ITP are pleased to announce that the roll out of the new Fuji Xerox printer fleet is complete. We are now working towards removing stand-alone devices as well as any devices three years old and over. The older devices will be disposed of. If you have any concerns or questions please contact Simon Hedges or Vickie Robinson.
Captivate Site License
Adobe Captivate is now available on UWS staff computers through 'Run Advertised Programs'. This software will assist with interactive teaching using an iPad. As part of our licensing agreement, Adobe is also offering a significant discount to staff purchasing software for home use. See the information for ordering at home in our Software page.
