Considering new software or a technology service? Start the Enterprise Software Acquisition process before signing up, starting a trial, or committing to a vendor. The process helps determine whether an existing solution can meet your needs and ensures new software is appropriately reviewed for cost, security, accessibility, data, and other considerations. Starting early can prevent delays, avoid unnecessary purchases, and help ensure the solution is a good fit for Missouri State.

What happens after you submit a software acquisition request? The request moves through a series of reviews based on the software, cost, data, integrations, and potential impact to the university. The process may involve Information Services, security, accessibility, procurement, legal, and other campus partners before final approval and implementation. Starting early helps identify potential issues, avoid delays, and ensure the software is properly reviewed, approved, supported, and documented.
