What's new this year?
~ Show Answer
Windows 7/Office 2010: The rollout of Windows 7
operating system on PCs continues. All new PC computers will be
deployed with Windows 7 and Office 2010.
Please visit our Windows 7 page for more information on
Windows 7.
Please visit our
Office 2010 page for more information on Office 2010.
Eligibility: We are very pleased to announce
that the 2011/2012 Replacement Cycle has been fully funded. All
computers greater than 44 months of age are eligible to be
replaced
One rollout: In past years we defined a fall
and spring rollout. This year we will provide everyone their data
at the same time and then process the replacements based on a
"first come first served" basis..
Speakers/Headsets: Due to the increased use of
multimedia (video, music, unified voicemail), the Replacement Cycle
will be supplying all computers (not iMacs as they have good
speakers built-in) with an external set of speakers or
headset.
Scheduling System: IT now has a
scheduling/appointment system that allows you to pick the day and
time of your replacement.
What happens to the old computers returned from the Replacement Cycle?
~ Show Answer
All computers that are retired from Butler University's
inventory have their hard drives erased using WiebeTech's Drive
eRazer Pro. This process is done to the U.S. Department of Defense
standard for clearing a non-removable rigid disk and is also
approved by the National Institute of Standards and Technology for
purging data from hard drives.
Erased hard drives and other equipment are sold to Christy's of
Indiana Auction House. If you wish to purchase any of this
equipment, please contact Christy's.

Why doesn't IT allow me to purchase old devices?
~ Show Answer
At this point in time, to take a device and prepare it to
be used by a private party takes effort and would not make
financial sense to the university. Our process is not uncommon
among other universities and large companies. IT will reassess this
policy in the future to look for cost saving methods in hopes to
make this an option for Faculty and Staff.
