New Technology Request (NTR)

The New Technology Request (NTR) serves as the standard process for the proposal, evaluation, and procurement of hardware, software, or other IT-related contracts that are not currently supported by IT.

To keep our college safe, compliant, and easy to support, the NTR process evaluates proposals for all new hardware, software, and digital contracts not currently supported by IT. This required review ensures new tools protect sensitive data, work seamlessly with systems like ctcLink, meet state accessibility standards, and comply with Washington’s Office of Financial Management (OFM) rules, which govern state purchasing authority.

Approval of an acquisition does not necessarily indicate the purchased item will be directly supported by IT. You do not need to submit this form for contract renewals or acquisition of items that have already been purchased via a previous IT approval.

To request new technology for use at Edmonds College, please start by reviewing the New Technology Request (NTR) Questions.

Once the NTR Google Form has been submitted, an IT Service Ticket will automatically be generated. IT performs a cursory review of the responses, and an IT representative will reach out to you to discuss your proposed technology’s adoption. This response will generally occur around 2 weeks after the form is submitted.

Providing detailed answers reduces the need for clarification and enables better insight and faster final responses.
