PAC Staff Workstation Replacement Plan

The inaugural PAC Staff Workstation Replacement Plan is being rolled out by the Information & Communication Technology department. Approximately 54 machines will be replaced campus-wide with funding from FY 08 budget sweeps.

The following criteria were used to determine selection:

(1) Employment status - Full time staff received priority consideration
(2) Year of original purchase – Four years from date of purchase (District & Grant-funder personnel are not funded from this Plan but are tracked to anticipate a four replacement)

The following process is used to replace a workstation:

a) A technician will contact the user to schedule an appointment for replacement.
b) The technician will backup all work related data (non-work related music files & photos are excluded).
c) A notation of unique software & peripheral devices will be noted for installation on the new system.
d) A technician will then remove the old system to return to Materials Management.
e) The New system will then be placed and setup with a basic package of Office 2007, and email configuration.
Data and unique software will be loaded on the new system at this time.
f) A Fixed Asset Transfer Form will be filled out and submitted at the time of completion.

Each replacement will take about one hour to complete. Completion is scheduled for Wednesday, December 10, 2008.

Thank you for your cooperation and patience as we work toward implementation of the PAC Staff Workstation Replacement Plan.
