How do I purchase cloud services through AIP?
Purchases for AIP cloud services will ultimately be made through ServiceNow and the AggieBuy system.
The requestor will provide the following information during the process:
- Name of requester/primary owner for the account
- FAMIS Account number (including part#, account code and cost center)
- Name for the account to be created. Naming conventions will include:
Agency - College/Unit - Description - Dollar amount of services desired from the selected provider
Once a PO is established through AggieBuy, the appropriate access will be set up within the cloud provider and communicated to the requester.
How do I know how much has been billed to my account and for what services?
- Requesters will have access to billing information within the cloud services provider, it is also recommended to set up quotas and notifications.
- AIP has chosen a vendor to provide consolidated billing and reporting. Requesters will have access to their accounts for monitoring of expenditures.
When will I be charged for incurred expenses?
- The cloud provider will invoice AIP at the end of each calendar month.
- AIP will review costs incurred by the requester and submit an invoice for payment through AggieBuy against the PO number.
Is there a charge for consulting or support?
AIP does not currently charge for assisting campus community members for consulting or support provided. For a deeper dive or more complex scope of work, a custom engagement can be negotiated.
