Most employees, can install OnBase on our University issued computers without involving an Infomation Technology professional , except for these groups:

1.  East Campus employees, (i.e. UHMC), contact 4HELP to create a ticket for the OnBase installation to be pushed to their PC.

2.  Department clients supported by the CEAS IT Office, the user would place a request to ceas_it@stonybrook.edu  for OnBase to be installed on their University issued PC.

In both cases, the user’s name, location and PC workstation name should be included in these requests.
