Enterprise IT Acquisition
 

Enterprise procurements lead to cost
savings.

Aggregate and enterprise purchase of IT services and products enables the state to leverage its buying power and saves taxpayer dollars.




To ensure the most efficient delivery of quality services to New Yorkers, state government invests in information technology. CIO/OFT is fully engaged in pursuing opportunities to leverage the state's purchase of computer hardware, software and technology consulting services.

More about Enterprise Technology Purchases

 

STRATEGY:

New York State strives to manage its technology investments to leverage the state's buying and create value for delivering better government services across the State enterprise. State agencies are required to notify CIO/OFT of planned technology purchases. CIO/OFT uses this knowledge to coordinate enterprise license agreements (ELAs).

 

ENTERPRISE LICENSE AGREEMENTS (ELAs):

Several ELAs are currently available. 1) The Oracle contract allows covered agencies to purchase programs and services for individual agency use and also for renewal of program maintenance and support. 2) The agreement with McAfee, Inc. to utilize their security products for servers, PCs and laptops. 3) Aggregate purchasing for PCs is available through several vendors. 4) Aggregate purchasing for printers is available as of July 18, 2009.
