- In order to ensure that we meet all university procurement procedures and licensing requirements, ETIS will only support computers that are purchased on a valid university account and that meet the campus network standards.
- Supported computers (currently Dell Canada & Apple Canada) will be configured to connect to the campus wired and/or wireless networks in order to be compliant with campus security policies. The university has negotiated pricing with Dell to get the lowest total cost available for Windows systems and can obtain educational pricing with Apple.
- ETIS will manage your device so that deployed applications can be automatically updated, and Microsoft patches can be installed through SCCM. Having your device managed severely reduces any security concerns.
- All new computers will be configured with a baseline standard set of software which includes a current university supported operating system and current version of Microsoft Office. Software not included in the baseline standard is installed when requested and properly licensed. MAD ETIS will assist clients in the procurement of university licensed software when applicable.
- When possible, ETIS will assist in the deployment of non-standard software. Clients will be asked to provide installation media/licensing for non-standard software.
- ETIS will not install ArcGIS software on non-managed computers.
