Insight & eStores
• Starting today, Insight is in eStores!– Got to erequest.osu.edu– Click on the eStores icon– Choose “Supplier Websites”– Search for the product– Punch out with what you want– Open Licenses appear to be listed. Do not
buy open licenses!
Microsoft Open Licenses
• An Open License is any license with Zero Discount.– You can get a better price at Walmart.
• Last year, OSU had $18,770.76 in Open License Purchases– Avg. discount for OSU through Insight is
62.5% - we over-spent by roughly $11,637
• We tracked the purchases and:
Microsoft Open Licenses
They’re coming from inside your house!
Microsoft Open Licenses
• Departments are purchasing these licenses with some regularity
• OCIO is not even immune.
• CDW is the biggest reseller with $16,301.52– This is why it is so important to buy on
contract:• Resellers not on contract don’t care if it costs us
more: they just get a bigger profit.
Microsoft CoreCAL Server Site License
• OSU Purchasing and OCIO Site License are discussing a 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
Microsoft CoreCAL Server Site License
• Projected cost per year– $66.384.46 (based on FTE)
• Average cost over the past 3 years:– $127,253.50
• Cost savings per year– $60,869.04
• Funding: we are planning to approach the SFO’s to tack it onto the MS Assessment
Adobe Enterprise License Agreement
• Site Licensing and Purchasing are reviewing an ELA for Acrobat Pro– 10,039 copies purchased in the last 3 years– Purchasing projects $1.1 million savings over
6 years– Resolves issues with compliance on that
product– Working to ensure expansion to other
products is possible (Creative Suites, Bridge)• We can add students at $.50/student
(roughly $26,000/year)
Software Click-Throughs
• OCIO Site Licensing is working with OSU Legal and Purchasing to resolve Click-Through issues– Adobe Flash, Oracle Java, Microsoft
Silverlight are big issues– SAS has provided us some template
language– OCIO is preparing to work directly with Apple
to resolve issues there
SigmaPlot renewal
• Perpetual license, we renew maintenance• 30 or so days left on the clock• eRequest is submitted and pending
approval into PO• Codes expected in about a week or two
SAS Renewal
• SAS PO cut• Pending invoice and codes• SAS is now campus-wide for fac/staff and
students!• Price change:
– $33/copy for Workstation– $350/processor for Servers
• Codes expected as soon as our check clears
• 9.3 will be generally available shortly after that, including to students
JMP Renewal
• New JMP contract in the works– Extends JMP to all branch campuses– No increase in cost
• Codes should be available well before expiration
Maple Renewal
• Renewal due in December• Quote received
– Price went up 3.5%– Negotiating with supplier to resolve that
OCIO DLP RFP
• RFP released 8/19• 6 vendors responded
– McAfee– Symantec (2)– Identity Finder– RSA– AccessData
• Process paused in mid-October• Process re-started
– We are now reviewing three vendors, not two
Apple Update
• Working with Purchasing and Legal on several fronts
• Items on table:– Click-through agreements for iTunes, MacOS,
etc.– Volume Purchase Plan– Apple App Development– Possible revision to Collegiate Purchase Plan
Questions/Comments
Apple Volume Purchasing Plan
• The VPP is designed for the purchase of bulk apps (20 or more)– VPP’s involve the purchase of “really big iTunes gift
cards” (denominations of $500, $1,000, or $5,000)– Allows the creation of non-credit-card accounts
• Accounts are hierarchical and the top-level account can assign out cash to subaccounts.
– Allows avoidance of the T’s & C’s– Site Licensing is working with Purchasing to determine
if OCIO SLS is the proper administrator for this plan• OSU Purchasing has indicated that the iTunes
terms are not “click-thru-able” for University staff; SLS is working on clarification of this information
