The Purchasing Department at UT Health San Antonio has streamlined the process of purchasing technology products and services with the introduction of a new online form called the Technology Acquisition Process (TAP) form. This new form is integrated into the Financial Services/Purchasing catalog in My Service Center, making it easier for requestors to buy technology products or services.
In this transition, each department’s IT partner will be available to provide assistance and answer any questions related to technology, security, and compliance. The process will also be tracked and monitored as it moves through the appropriate channels, with the Purchasing Department issuing purchase orders or coordinating purchases with a OneCard.
Some key highlights of this change include the replacement of the PSST form with the TAP form, IT partners and financial specialists facilitating the process, and requestors being able to monitor the status and progress of their technology purchase request at any time. This new approach will help UT Health San Antonio become more efficient in its procurement processes while ensuring that all necessary measures are taken to protect sensitive information.
For more information on this new process, employees can expect additional details in the coming weeks or can reach out to their IT partner or Financial Service Center for guidance. If unsure about who their IT partner or financial specialist is, employees can access the Partner Directory and locate their department under “Departments Supported.”
