Option 3 – Software Vendors

If the software you’re looking for is not currently offered through UConn Health or Storrs, IT can help you find a vendor that offers the best pricing and can also assist you with placing your order and installing the software upon arrival. Alternately, you can order and install the software directly without involvement from IT.
