Saving on computers

A new computer replacement program at Youngstown State University is expected to save the university tens of thousands of dollars.

All computer purchases are coordinated and procured centrally by YSU Information Technology Services on a five- to six-year replacement cycle.

Jim Yukech, YSU associate vice president and chief information officer, said the university spends nearly $940,000 a year to replace computers. Under the new system, he expects those costs to drop to $684,000 a year, an annual savings of $254,000.

YSU has an inventory of 4,117 computers campuswide with an asset value of $4.83 million.
