There are multiple advantages to participating in the agreement. Use of common software reduces support costs and makes training costs easier to manage. Widespread availability will enable students to build technology skills from kindergarten through graduate school. A common tool set eases the exchange of electronic files and information. Administrative process for software distribution will be simplified.
Software upgrades are part of the price.
Each institution will bear its share of the cost, based on the number of desktops in use at its site and the number of enrolled students. Microsoft products are already the most widely used software at the participating institutions. This agreement simply reduces the cost of purchasing and upgrading the software.
