History of the PML and OS/eCAL
• The original PML and OS/eCAL agreements were created in 2006• It was the first Provincial Framework Agreement in Canada
– Set the stage for other Provinces and countries around the world– First user-based agreement of its kind for K-12
• Licensing was moved to an FTE count from a device model
The Next PLM and OS/eCAL• The new agreement must be signed by May 31, 2013• Focus group has met and discussed what should be included in the
next agreement• Our purpose today is to determine what you need in your schools
• Focus group• Consultations
with ministry teams
• RFP drafted
December 2012
• RFP gone out • Presentation to
the Ministry
January 2013 • New agreement
signed• Deployment plan
strategized and communicated

Additional Microsoft Discussions• The agreement is no longer just about licensing• There are now five components to the agreement that we are
discussing with Microsoft• Questions to consider:
– Are the programs we’re looking at relevant? – How can it be implemented in your school? – What are we missing? – How can we further add additional efficiencies?

What are the “Must Haves” and the “Nice to Have” Options? • Each table has a piece of paper with the different options available
for the next licensing agreement• Mark an “X” beside options that you consider a “Must Have” and are
non-negotiable• For the remaining items, mark by priority what you feel is a “Nice to
Have” option– Start with #1, then go on to options that are less of a priority
Option “Must Have” or “Nice to Have”?

Home Use Program 3
What the Focus Group Said• Everything that’s included with the current agreement is a “Must
Have” and non-negotiable• Office 365 Plan A3 is a “Like to Have”, but may not be for some
jurisdictions who have Google Docs• There is value in having a Provincial licensing agreement as it:
– Develops consistencies and standards– Gives smaller districts an opportunity that they may not have been able to
afford before– Any licensing option that lessens the burden, financially and
administratively, is a good thing• Student licensing is a priority (BYOD)• Jurisdictions need a clearer deployment model
Next Steps• If you have any additional thoughts or questions, please contact us
directly ([email protected])• We will take your suggestions back to Microsoft and develop the next
version of the licensing agreements
Thanks!
