Definition and Purpose

IT procurement is the process of acquiring technology resources and services to meet an organization's needs. It involves a strategic approach to identifying, evaluating, and purchasing hardware, software, and related services, while also managing their lifecycle and ensuring compliance. Effective IT procurement helps organizations optimize costs, improve efficiency, and mitigate risks associated with technology investments.
