During September and October, the Technology team has continued planning for the FY17 computer replacement program.

We’ve developed a tentative timeline for working with departments to schedule computer replacements. This timeline is based on several factors, including the average age of computers currently used in each department and the total estimated replacement cost.

Our next steps will be to start interviewing department administrators in November and then begin a pilot rollout of new computers to a subset of five departments. Following the pilot period, we will expand the program quickly to other areas of the College during the 3rd and 4th quarters of the fiscal year.

As the project continues, we’ll share up-to-date information oncomputerupgrades.simmons.edu. If you have specific questions about computer replacements, please contact theService Desk.
