- Banner Information System - the university's primary administrative system
- Classroom instructional technology
- Core servers and hardware components of the campus network
- Campus network (wired, wireless) and Internet uplink connection
- Faculty and staff desktop and laptop computers
- Software licenses (Microsoft, McAfee, SPSS, etc.) and software distribution & resale
