Is there a generic email account that we use to contact Purchasing/Procurement regarding this?
Their website seems to list individual people as contacts which seems strange to me.
We've tended to deal with Terry Taylor.

IST does not have a central account for purchasing Apple products. When Retail Services and myself last sat and talked with Phil (our rep) about their academic program, it was clear that it is not an easily managed program.
If the licensing model has changed, I would be happy to meet and talk with them again.
Purchasing does have a iTunes account set up and you can purchase through them, I believe it is a Corporate account.

This all sounds good to me. I would like to add perhaps a very small discussion about the Volume Purchase Program now that managing enterprise apps seems to be present in the new version of Profile Manager. I would like a bit more information about how the volume pricing program works, do we already have a central account through IST?, and how perhaps we could make that work in a highly distributed environment such as ours.
