Qualtrics
• We have several KB articles created for sign-in, upgrade codes, and collaboration.– KB04697 – Sign-in– KB04699 – Upgrade Codes– KB04706 – Collaboration
• Department contacts have been set up for many of the academic units. We also have setup contacts for non-Academic units as well.– Contact [email protected] to set up a
departmental administrator (or more than one)

Secunia Presentation
• Secunia license expires in Nov. 2015
• Original purchase paid for by Engineering, OCIO Security, and OSUMC
• We will begin exploring renewal in future meetings
5
Identity Finder CIC Contract
• The Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC) has entered into a contract with Identity Finder for DLP.– Contract guarantees pricing for perpetual
licenses and maintenance going forward– These slides are informational only: they do
not represent a departure from the Symantec DLP product provided by Enterprise Security
– If you wish to use Identity Finder, please work with Enterprise Security directly.
6
ExamSoft
• Arts and Sciences and ODEE are working on a license
• ExamSoft is an exam authoring tool to create and distribute tests online, with feedback to faculty regarding data and insights into how tests are working
• If you have interest, please contact Mike Kaylor in ASC: [email protected]
7
Adobe CC Home Use
• OSU Purchasing is working on this agreement a bit more– Questions remain in Adobe and in OSU about
the scope of usage– We have found ways to distribute the software
• OSU Purchasing will be working on Single Sign-On so we can avoid going through a third party vendor.
8
MS Office 365
• OSU Purchasing and OCIO are working together on this
• Timeline:– Student O356 is now scheduled for July 2015– Faculty/Staff O365 will be a separate project
begun after that.• There are technical and tenant issues that need to
be resolved before Fac/Staff O365 can be rolled out.
9
Microsoft Renewal
• Our agreement comes up on 6/30, when we will enter year 3 of our 5 year agreement.
• Microsoft’s landscape continues to change:– O365 released to students “at no charge” in Oct
2013
– O365 released to fac/staff “at no charge in Dec. 2014
– Windows 10 to be a free consumer upgrade
10
Microsoft Renewal
• Last year, we held Microsoft to Year 1 pricing with the release of the Student Option.
• This year, we have four options to review for additional value and cost-savings– E3 or E4 uplifts to O365– MDOP– Azure– Price Freeze, at Year 1 or Year 2 pricing
11
Microsoft Renewal: E3/E4
• Currently, OSU has E2 options on O365
• E3 would provide upgrades like:– Legal Hold, Business Calendar, Online Meetings,
Discovery, Enterprise Yammer, etc.
• E4 would provide Plus CALs– Essentially, PBX integration
• Because OSU hosts Exchange on-site, there are few benefits for us– The IUC might see many more benefits, though.
12
Microsoft Renewal: MDOP
• MDOP (Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack) includes several products:– Virtualization Products:
• Application Virtualization (App-V)• User Experience Virtualization (UE-V)• Enterprise Desktop Virtualization (MED-V)
– Management Products• Advanced Group Policy Mangement (AGPM)• BitLocker Administration and Monitoring (MBAM)
– Restore Products• Diagnostics and Recovery Tool (DaRT)
13
Microsoft Renewal: MDOP
• App-V, MBAM, and DaRT are the big interests we’ve heard on campus– App-V would allow you to virtualize
applications without VMWare products– MBAM allows for management of BitLocker
on a level that would likely reduce a lot of headaches and help us move beyond tactical on this encryption technology
– DaRT is great for help desks and can even fix machines that can’t boot properly
14
Microsoft Renewal: MDOP
• MDOP has a lot of value to OSU– 15,000 devices have been reported by
interested colleges already– On an FTE basis, it is not expensive and
might be an easy win
• MDOP does not have easily recognizable value to the end-user, however
• Other IUC schools are not as interested as we are
15
Microsoft Renewal: Azure
• Azure is Microsoft’s cloud computing solution– Microsoft is asking for a small commit from
each school to open up the product for deeply discounted use
– In combination with a price freeze, this may be a direction to go.
• Schools are mostly not prepared to make full use of Azure at this time (or any other cloud solution.
16
Microsoft Renewal: Price Freeze
• If we can freeze pricing at Year 1 or Year 2, there are some savings:– Freeze at Year 1: $125k savings– Freeze at Year 2: $82k savings
• This appears to be a fallback point if the IUC can’t agree on a product to go after
• Savings don’t add value to the license, and cost changes on a per FTE basis are small (about $1/FTE)
17
Upcoming Renewals
• PowerTerm Pro• Parallels
– We have more activations than OCIO was paid for, working with Parallels on what this means
• xWin32
• If you are a cost share, we’ll be contacting you.
18
