Ordering IT equipment and software

All IT-related purchases must be made through Aarhus University. It is your personal responsibility to seek prior approval from the department. This applies to purchases paid for by ordinary department funds as well as external/project funds.

To apply for IT equipment, you must send an email to Thomas Stephansen via orderit@econ.au.dk with the following information:

  • The item you wish to purchase
  • Department funding or external funding (provide the project number)
  • Reason for purchase

You will receive a confirmation mail from Thomas Stephansen with more details about the IT order and the process.

Computer

All employees are offered one of the following standard computers funded by the department:

  • HP Elitebook 645, 14” (Performance or High performance)
  • HP Elitebook 660, 16” (Performance or High performance)
  • Lenovo Thinkpad T14, 14” (Performance or High performance)
  • Lenovo Thinkpad L16, 16” (High performance)
  • MacBook Pro 14” (M4, Space black, 18 GB)

If this does not cover your work needs, please contact Thomas Stephansen via orderit@econ.au.dk providing further details.

Software licenses

If you need a software license, please send your request to Thomas Stephansen via orderit@econ.au.dk for approval.

AU has a number of software license agreements that can be purchased through the AU IT webpage. This ensures that the software licenses are covered by AU’s purchasing agreements and are compliant with GDPR rules. You need to get prior approval by the department, even if the software seems to be for free.

If you would like to purchase software or a license that is not in the IT Webshop or on the AU IT webpage, you must send a request directly to BSS IT (bss.it@au.dk) to establish whether the software is compliant and approved for AU equipment. You must do this before you place a purchasing request via orderit@econ.au.dk
