Computers, Software, and Peripherals

In cooperation with Information Services & Technology, BU Sourcing maintains the university’s Apple and PC standards. This standardization lowers the total cost of ownership through reduced support costs. It encourages collaboration and efficiency between all BU IT support staff as more and more departments support the same standards and develop a greater body of knowledge about the same models. Standardization allows your department to leverage the buying power of the entire university.

For departmental purchases please do not use the the vendors’ public retail websites. These sites are not specific to Boston University so the prices may be higher, shipping may be charged, and taxes will be applied.
