Laptop, Licensing, and Support Guidelines
The goal of these guidelines is to balance required functionality with cost. These are the defaults for each position type. The IT team will set new employees up per these guidelines unless notified by new hire’s supervisor of additional requirements that justify deviating from these guidelines.
- Position – Impacts IT service requirements
- Laptop – Windows vs. Mac, Leased (new $40/mo) vs. Old (more than 3 years $0/mo)
- Licensing – All get Email, Office (Online $0/mo) Office Pro (local apps $3/mo)
- Helpdesk support – New Helpdesk service provided by Blue Technologies, Yes ($20/mo) vs. No ($0/mo)
- Grace IT Support – If helpdesk support is “No” then Grace IT team will provide minimal support
