Procurement and Contract Management for Information Technology

Catalog description

This course covers the basic concepts and practices in procurement and contract management, not from a strict legal approach, but rather in a manner that equips a student with the skills and knowledge necessary to negotiate and manage the procurement of information and communications technology, armed with an understanding of the critical issues. As part of our shared commitment to our student success as they enter the workforce, Webster's Information Technology Management considers and uses NCMA's ANSI-Approved Contract Management Standard™ as the basis of its program and course curricula and is committed to driving student success through its instruction of the phases, domains, competencies and skills that are common across the contract management profession. Through its alignment with the CMS, ITM 5300 prepares students for NCMA's CCMA certification which demonstrates proficiency in the CMS and is a strong steppingstone into the contract management profession.
