Microsoft Campus Agreement Implementation Project
Microsoft Campus Agreement Implementation Project
Goal: To implement Microsoft
Campus Agreement for all UVM faculty and staff for Fiscal Year
2006, starting July 1, 2005.
Background: Several academic
and administrative units have funded Campus Agreement subscriptions
since 1999. For Fiscal Year 2006, UVM has enrolled in
Microsoft Campus Agreement at the institutional level, covering all
faculty and staff. UVM has joined with other institutions,
through a consortium coordinated by NERCOMP, to bring down the cost of
Campus Agreement. The
fullfillment partner will be SHI. CIT will do financial
administration (BSAD and COM will continue to
administer CA for their students). Microsoft is providing
consulting help for
software distribution. The University's experience will be
reviewed prior to our renewal date, and a decision will be made whether
to continue in the program for FY 2007.
What is Campus Agreement?
Campus Agreement provides licenses to widely used Microsoft software
for an annual subscription fee, with upgrades included at no extra
cost. (In contrast, Microsoft Select Agreement software licenses are
perpetual, for a one-time fee, and do not include upgrades.)
