ITS Staff Hub

Welcome to IT Services (ITS)

 

Making IT Purchases

To ensure cost-effective and secure IT purchasing, the University requires that all IT items are purchased through IT Services. This helps to prevent duplication, enhances cybersecurity, ensures effective data management and leverages the benefits of our strategic supplier partnerships, such as extended warranties and better support.

What am I Eligible For?

Eligibility for New Members of Staff

All new Queen Mary staff are eligible, as standard, for the following equipment and support:

  • Primary device (normally a laptop), funded by ITS up to a value of £1,300. Any additional cost above this amount must be funded locally by the department
  • Device charger, funded by ITS
  • Basic headset, funded by ITS

Desks on-campus are equipped with a hub monitor, keyboard and mouse.

The majority of this equipment is funded through ITS, however, any additional equipment or requirements beyond this standard provision must be funded locally by the department.

Replacements or Repairs for Existing Members of Staff

If your device develops a fault, please raise a ServiceNow ticket so that ITS can review the issue.

  • Devices under five years old will be repaired where possible.
  • Devices over five years old will generally be replaced.

If a device is accidentally damaged, the repair or replacement will not be covered by ITS or by the manufacturer’s warranty. In such cases, ITS will arrange the necessary repair or replacement, but the associated cost must be covered locally by the department.
