Description

Press release from The University of Utah - Announcements: May 18, 2022 University Information Technology (UIT) has signed a university master services agreement (UMSA) with Salesforce that allows the University of Utah and University of Utah Health entities to engage with the company on equal terms without the need to negotiate department- or college-specific contracts. A business associate agreement (BAA) with Salesforce is still under review. UIT Enterprise Software Engineer Brandon Gresham said that because two vendors—Salesforce and Carahsoft—provide the university with Salesforce licensing, the U's Purchasing department requires that contracts go to bid. However, Gresham said the process is a simple matter of requesting pricing from each vendor. Gresham said UIT also has partnered with several Salesforce technical consultants who specialize in most Salesforce products. These contracts are applicable across the university. For more information or help contacting the U's new Salesforce consultants, please email Gresham. This press release was produced by The University of Utah - Announcements.
