Office365 and iPad Apps • Last Thursday, iPad apps for Word, Excel, and Powerpoint were released • Apps are free and function in read-only mode until an active subscription login is applied • iOS 7 required • Office365 users are the only people eligible for a login • O365 for University price: $80/4 years

  4. Office365 and iPad Apps • Current contract includes: • Office365 for Students? Yes. • Office365 for Fac/Staff? No. • 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

  5. 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 • We can continue to sell the perpetual copy through FY15 (graduating students, fac/staff)

  6. Office365 and iPad Apps • Licensing limitations: • Students – Already licensed through Student Advantage. Requires a headcount of mailboxes and a $0 PO to execute. • Fac/Staff – Fac/Staff licenses require an uplift SKU from Microsoft. Two options for this exist, but initial cost estimates are $20/mailbox/year. • O365 for University was $80/4 years • $20/box/year initial cost provides additional value, but not enough to significantly differentiate the offering.

  7. Office365 and iPad Apps • Technical Limitations: • Students: • Integration of Peoplesoft/SIS into the university AD • Testing • Creating roles • Roll-off process • Fac/Staff: • Provisioning of an O365 Tenant • Integration of Peoplesoft into AD • Testing • Creating roles

  8. Office365 and iPad Apps • Where do we go from here? • We have several items, beyond just contract and technical issues, to work out • Managing student access is top priority • We will work to provide options for fac/staff who require the software • Changes and updates prior to the next meeting will likely come from OCIO communications

  9. Pricing Changes for SLS • Expected price changes next year • Parallels (beginning April 1) • Old price: $34. New price: $35 • Updates to 9 and 10 • Nvivo (beginning June 1) • Old price: $42. New price: $50 • Adding: NVivo Mac • Minitab (beginning July 1) • Old price: free. New price: $12 • Update to v. 17 • Sigmaplot (beginning July 1) • Old price: $16. New price: $21

  10. Pricing Changes for SLS • OCIO will continue to provide a central share for budgeted FY15 purchases of: • MATLAB • SPSS • SYSTAT • We expect to approach total recovery on those in FY16.

  11. Symantec Antivirus Licenses • OCIO Security has purchased a site-wide license for Symantec Protection Suite • Includes • AntiVirus • Recovery Desktop • Ghost • Several other components • Availability of the Suite and/or parts of it will be announced soon, as well as methods for obtaining the software

Upgrades • Minitab 17 • Pending testing and update to the server • may require uninstallation of Minitab 16 across campus before we can update • Reviewing how the upgrade fits in with cost changes • NVivo for Mac • Expected out in May • MATLAB 2014a • Released in mid-March: current codes will on this version.

  13. Adobe • Adobe brought a new pricing option to the table in early January. • We met on Mar. 6, and have achieved approx. 63% funding based on current budgets • I need more to make a case to move to this, site-wide • If you have budget for Adobe products, please let me know

  14. Microsoft SQL Server • Microsoft has made an offer of approximately $400k to license the entire University starting July 1, to co-term with our Campus Agreement • Cost is approximately $6/FTE (faculty, staff, and students) • The University has reached a tipping point where licensing it for everyone will be cheaper than licensing it based on individual departmental need going forward.
