It is not one large auction, it is several different auctions.We wanted to give everyone an opportunity to participate but not create an auction environment where bidders don’t know if they won for three weeks.Because this is the first time Lam GIS has used this method, we also wanted to spread the auction out in small manageable pieces in the event we need to tweak specific policy and procedure as we go along.
Additionally, the auctions are spread over three weeks to allow all Lam Employees ample opportunity to bid no computers. By spreading the process out over a few weeks, we allow employees on vacation, traveling, or otherwise unavailable multiple opportunities to purchase computers.
