Hardware & Software Requests
Hardware and software requests help ensure employees have the tools needed to perform their work safely, securely, and effectively. Requests are reviewed to confirm compatibility, security, and business need.
This page explains what types of requests may be submitted and how to request hardware or software support.
Hardware Requests
Hardware requests may include company-issued devices or accessories required to perform job responsibilities, such as:
- Computers or laptops
- Monitors, keyboards, or peripherals
- Other job-related equipment
Software Requests
Software requests may include access to approved applications or consideration of new tools required for business purposes. Software requests are evaluated for security, licensing, and compatibility.
How to Submit a Request
Hardware and software requests should be submitted through IT Support or the company’s approved request process. Requests may require supervisory approval before fulfillment.
Employees should provide clear information about the business need, intended use, and any relevant deadlines.
Review & Approval
Requests are reviewed based on business need, security considerations, cost, and compatibility with existing systems. Approval is not guaranteed and may depend on available resources.
Use of Unapproved Tools
Employees should not purchase, install, or use unapproved hardware or software for company work without prior approval. Use of unapproved tools may create security, compliance, or support risks.
Questions or Assistance
Employees with questions about hardware or software requests, or unsure whether a tool is approved, should contact IT Support for guidance.
