Employees Share Thoughts about ATI Requirements for IT Purchases

• “I do have a better understand of the ATI procurement process now… and now have a better idea of what to expect and how to explain our 508 requirement to vendors.  Understanding that the supplier is not always the manufacturer of a product is important.”
• “I believe for completing my first purchasing following the ATI requirements that it went fairly well.”
• “Continue informing the campus about the need and process for accessible E&IT procurement.”
• “Ensure that there is someone who I can contact if I have a question/issue regarding the requirements/process”
• “I believe there is some hype that the Section 508 requirement is going to hinder those attempting to procure products in the IT field, however I think if we work together as a group both the CSU and University we can develop a process that is not only friendly but easy to understand.”
