  1. Site License Advisory Team Mar. 30, 2012 meeting

  2. Agenda • Apple Volume Purchase Plan • Adobe CLP Renewal • Acrobat Enterprise License Agreement • Microsoft Renewal • Microsoft CoreCAL Server Licenses • Microsoft SQL Price Change • DLP RFP • SPSS Renewal • Anti-Malware

  3. Apple Volume Purchase Plan • iOS Apps available for bulk purchase (20+) • WiredOut is the sole Program Facilitator • Contact WiredOut to use the program • http://wiredout.osu.edu/ • Discussing non-bulk purchases

  4. Adobe Acrobat CLP • WiredOut is the renewal vendor of choice for compliance and pricing purposes • You must renew maintenance on products within the next 90 days • The new agreement allows for an ELA for Acrobat (step 1), and includes click-through language: you may now update Adobe Flash Player!

  5. Adobe Acrobat ELA • Students were not included in the original order. Pricing is based on FTE, and will match your Microsoft Assessment numbers for FY13 • Distribution expected to be on OSU SLS • Expected availability: Early next month (hopefully next week) • “Upgrades” from Acrobat permitted • Discussion with some departments regarding departmental ELA’s for broader collections

  6. Microsoft Renewal: 6/30/13 • Current Campus Agreement and EES expire on 6/30/2013. Our agreement is an IUC contract • IUC CIO’s have requested a more strategic contract with Microsoft • Better communication • Better virtualization solutions (VDI/VDA) • Removal of programs is negatively impacting us

  7. Particular issues • Removal of Student Select 4/1/12 • Replaced with Office University, and no Windows upgrades • Reduction of revenue for schools • Separation of “staff” from eligibility • Only faculty and students are eligible for Personal Use • Virtualization doesn’t satisfy anyone • Schools hear about new programs late in the game, sometimes through public announcements

  8. Microsoft CoreCAL Servers • Enrollment for Education Systems (EES) agreement • Ohio State is likely to renew for 1-year • The IUC CIO’s are interested in additional negotiation • Current MS CA is up on June 30, 2013 • Timeline: • Pending PO (hopefully today)

  9. Microsoft CoreCAL Server Site License • Includes: • Windows servers (including HPC), and Windows External Connector (not RDS external connector!) • Sharepoint servers, including Sharepoint Server for Internet Sites • Exchange servers and Exchange Standard External Connector • Lync servers and Lync Standard External Connector • Systems Center Config Manager server and server MLs

  10. Microsoft SQL Server price increase • With the release of SQL Server 2012, Microsoft is increasing the cost of all SQL Server licenses • SQL is not included in the CoreCAL servers • Prices increase on April 1, 2012: get your quote and put an order in today if you have a large SQL project

  11. OCIO DLP RFP • OCIO Security has selected Symantec as our solution • Questions about data in use, Mac support, iOS support, and other key issues led to a re-bid and clarification of the requirements

  12. SPSS Renewal or Retirement • OCIO Site Licensing and OSU Purchasing are in discussions with SPSS • Final pricing has been received • Avoids increases over last year (typically 10%) • Provides four options for pricing • 12-month cost will be roughly equivalent for departments (last agreement was 18 months, so expect to see a change in price)

  13. Anti-Malware • Current McAfee agreement expires on Sept. 30, 2012 • OCIO Site Licensing has negotiated lower pricing with McAfee, for a better product • OSU MedCenter has agreed to fund 1 year for the university; Site Licensing will still maintain the license: new projected expiration: Sept. 30, 2013 • Total Savings: $70,000 university-wide • Additional options are available • Forefront and Microsoft Security Essentials • Student/Home version of Windows McAfee will be retired, replaced with MSE

  14. Questions/Comments

  15. SLS Request Fulfillment • OCIO Site Licensing has hired consultants to improve the workflow of the download site. Key improvements sought include: • Automation of the checkout process • Elimination of paper agreements • Increased access to packages via download • Improved security • Ability to turn on downloads for specific users if necessary • Ability to view distribution records • Ability to tie software to a department • Large file download and distribution
