Form a Software Licensing Committee Engage the University community to determine what
similar or identical software products are being purchased in order to identify opportunities for cost savings
Design and implement a new, more user-friendly software ordering site for the University to replace the current IT Purchasing System (ITP). We envision a one stop shop for Faculty, Staff and Students that would also allow for distribution by download
