Standard Operating Procedure for Handling Software Installation and Procurement Requests
Avoid exposing your company to risk by ensuring each new software request is handled appropriately, with a simple to use SOP available anywhere.
Copy templates to use them anywhere:
Even in secure environments, users often have requests to install and use new software. Sometimes that software is already approved and they just want a license, and sometimes it's a new software they're requesting access to.
This SOP provide an IT professional with quick and easy guidance as to how to proceed with any of these situations. Text Blaze snippets, like this SOP, work directly inside virtually any ticketing system, including JIRA, Zendesk, and Freshdesk. They increase your compliance, and also save you time by cutting out repetitive typing.
