What We Do in Buy IT
Safari Micro handles the full procurement lifecycle, from defining device standards to sourcing and deploying technology at scale. We coordinate with manufacturers and distribution partners for Autopilot enrollment, asset tagging, and pre-configuration — so devices arrive pre-configured and ready to deploy — no in-house imaging required.
Hardware Procurement
Desktops, laptops, tablets, servers, and networking gear, sourced through contract vehicles or direct purchase.
Device Lifecycle Planning
Multi-year refresh roadmaps with budget forecasting, asset tracking, and end-of-life planning.
Software & Licensing
Microsoft, Adobe, and third-party licensing, right-sized and compliance-tracked.
Standards Development
Device standards documentation that reduces procurement complexity and support overhead.
Cooperative Contract Purchasing
TIPS, Mohave, and other vehicles. Skip the RFP, stay compliant.
Deployment & Imaging
Devices arrive pre-configured and ready to deploy through manufacturer and distribution partner services — including Windows Autopilot enrollment, asset tagging, and custom configuration — coordinated by Safari Micro.
