Projects Requiring Funding

We will create the project. These projects will require that a purchase order be created. We will consult with you on project design, implementation, and costs. You can request a quote for projected costs, and our vendor Burwood will provide a quote.

College or unit business office handles purchase order generation.

Research Technogy recieves a copy of the purchase order.

Research Technology performs onboarding process (project creation, roles/permissions, Google group creation, and Burwood portal).
