OSU SLS Webpages • OCIO is consolidating the OCIO Website • SLS is part of this • What works on the current site? • What does not? • If we were re-building the site from scratch, what would you expect to see?
Software Renewals/Upgrades • SPSS • V. 19 just released • Name change back to SPSS • Charge for SPSS instituted for v.19 • No charge to continue running 17/18 today • Charges on the horizon for renewal (December)
Software Renewals/Upgrades • MATLAB • Renewal accomplished • 2010b in testing, released via media after duplication; codes currently available • New Toolbox: Robust Control Toolbox • Spline Toolbox fit into Curve Fitting Toolbox • Robust Control chosen as the largest value “extra” in use at the University • Total value of toolbox: $12,000+

Software Renewals/Upgrades • SAS/JMP • Renewal in progress • JMP 9 Win/Mac just released, will run through November • 64-Bit interest? • All-online distribution; this will be the test case for self-service codes • SAS 9.2 Admin/Server should be available shortly after renewal for general distribution • Too large for DVD or download
Managing Renewals and Semesters • The number of software expirations in early fall quarter is high • Other software includes Systat, SigmaPlot, Minitab, and some minor software • As we transition to Semesters, these will begin to fall in the middle of Autumn Semester • Long-range view of our software indicates we should prepare for the shift by realigning our expiration dates.
Additional • Office 2011 for Mac is up for download • Office 2010 Pro Plus for Win x64 is up for download
System Configuration Software • Meetings to determine requirements begin today. • The intent is not to choose a one size fits all mandate, but to identify the best solutions based on the real-world use cases of the university while enabling the business of education. • Phase 1 - Establish requirements for products and outline common use cases throughout the university. Determine priority of requirements and assign weighted values for evaluation. - October 25-29 • Phase 2 - Evaluate identified products against established requirements - Nov 1- 12 • Phase 3 - Identify current install base for the products in major university units - Nov 15-17 • Phase 4 - Draft recommendation based on weighted criteria - Nov 18-22 • Phase 5 - Refine final recommendation based on team feedback and management vetting - Nov 23 -24 • Phase 6 - Deliver Recommendation to OCIO Architecture/IT Security Team and develop university next steps - December 2010
