What we do

We provide business processes that encompass purchasing services, shipments, receiving, and the administration of computer hardware registration/tracking. In addition, we are responsible for the systems and processes that make it possible to assure charge computing support costs to sponsored funding sources.

We operate as a recharge center; we charge monthly fees to recover the costs of providing technical services and supporting the SCS community.  If you have any charging questions or concerns, you can submit a charging inquiry.

We're happy to provide consulting on charging issues or answer any questions relating to the purchasing process:

• Account or costing support
• Purchasing computing equipment for your department or group within SCS
• Provide assistance with registration or support charges
• We can assist with shipping or receiving
• Managing your asset registrations, and more!
