Before purchasing any hardware products, even those listed on this site, please submit a HEAT ticket per the following policy:
Technology Purchases – All technology purchases (district or local funds), especially hardware, must be approved by ETS Systems Support prior to purchasing. This includes, but is not limited to, non-District standard computers, tablets, phones, printers, copiers, any device that may attach to the District network (GCSD and/or GCS Guest), interactive projectors and technologies, touch panels, visual displays, casting devices, etc. ETS Systems Support will verify that hardware purchases will work in the GCS environment and can be supported while verifying the limitation of security risks. All locations are also encouraged to review Board Policy EFE and Board Rule EFE as they relate to technology usage in GCS. Please place a HEAT ticket when purchasing is being considered. Contact: Jim Alexander (864) 355-3136.
Due to the various configurations and compatiblity issues between computers, docking stations, promethean boards, etc. it is necesary that ETS assess each purchasing request individually for compatibility.
