Microserve eStore
We've partnered with Microserve to provide an online storefront where you can buy a range of standard computers and accessories using a streamlined, simplified and expedited workflow.
Standard computers:
- are delivered within 2 business days (if they're in stock)
- come loaded with productivity software to get you started quickly
- have been thoroughly tested with the UVic network and systems
- meet or exceed UVic's information security standards for confidential data
- can have warranty repairs done on campus
- have already passed technical approval
Go to the eStore user guide in SharePoint.

Details
- For
- Employees (not including affiliates and emeriti)
- Website
- Microserve eStore (UVic)
Orders must be approved by a budget administrator. If you're not sure how to start a request, ask your supervisor, department admin, faculty sponsor or PI.
Restrictions & limitations
To place an order, you'll need:
- an active UVic employee role
- an on-campus delivery address including build name and room number
- the FAST account to fund the purchase
- the preferred email for your department's approver
- typically the same person who has signing authority for that FAST account
You can't use the Microserve eStore if:
- you're buying a non-standard device
- you're using funds from more than 1 FAST account
- you're using research funds
If you're using multiple or research accounts, you can still buy standard computers, but you'll need to use WebReq to submit the purchase to Purchasing Services. If you're not a WebReq user, your department admin officer will probably be able to help you submit an order.
- Purchasing Services provides help and training for WebReq.
- We have some tips for preparing requisitions for Microserve.
Non-standard computers
If you need a non-standard computer, you can contact the TSC for a quote. Non-standard computers must pass technical approval.
