Information Technology Standards Document

1 Information Technology Standards Document The Information Technology Standards Policy lists all technologies supported by the organization and serves as a guideline for all technology purchasing and use decisions, including hardware, software, peripherals, and network components. The primary goals of developing and implementing such a policy are: To ease purchasing decisions by pre-evaluating and pre-approving technology solutions. To reduce training and support costs and create economies of scale by narrowing the number of technologies and products used. To ensure integration and interoperability between technologies. To set parameters for future technology innovation and development. The following standard technologies were selected based on prevalence in the organization or in the case where two or more competing technologies previously existed on an assessment of relative quality and performance as dictated by business needs. Please refer to this document when making a purchasing decision or when selecting technologies as part of a development project. Sections of this document may be extracted and used as part of project charters or other agreements where technology parameters should and must be set, such as in the case of contracted work.
