  6. Office365 and iPad Apps • iPad apps for Word, Excel, and Powerpoint were released at the end of March • Office365 users are the only people eligible for a login • O365 for University price: $80/4 years • Current Microsoft contract includes: • Office365 for Students? Yes. • Office365 for Fac/Staff? No.

  7. Office365 and iPad Apps • Today’s offering is: • Students, faculty, and staff can purchase a perpetual copy of Office Pro Plus 2013 for $49 at WiredOut. • Perpetual • No O365 services • One computer • We can continue to sell the perpetual copy through FY15 (graduating students, fac/staff)

  8. Office365 and iPad Apps • Office365 offer from MS (that we have currently licensed for students) includes: • Up to 5 devices • c.f. O365 University – 4 devices: 2 computers, 2 tablets • We can choose which O365 services to turn on • Subscription-based • Graduates must purchase a subscription to remain on license

  9. Office365 and OneDrive • Announcement yesterday of OneDrive (formerly SkyDrive) being updated from 25GB to 1TB for O365 Education users • Requires A2 or A3 • Student Advantage is likely not affected by this; only faculty/staff would receive this benefit in its current form • There are contract concerns with OneDrive that need to be resolved

  10. Office365 • Where do we go from here? • OCIO is working on technical issues to provide access • Students are the first priority, then Fac/Staff • Examination of OneDrive and options • Departmental purchases are one option, as individual departments could buy licenses once the tech side is resolved
