Any work that has an ITS component and requires the use of ITS resources for 5 days (40 hours) or more is considered an IT project. All potential IT projects need to have a project request created and submitted to provide ITS with the information necessary to determine the initial size and complexity of the project.
ITS reviews all hardware, software, and technical systems over $5,000 prior to their purchase to ensure they comply with the technical and cybersecurity standards of Mississippi State University.
