3. Puppet Software
OH-TECH is considering a site-wide license, but needs interested individuals to make that make sense
Currently, there is no non-OH-TECH spend on campus for this product
If anyone is interested, contact Jim Jacob

4. Windows 10 MAK
The current Multiple Activation Key (MAK) has been overused
This is the first time this has happened
A new key is available either today or tomorrow to SLSC’s
We only get new keys with whole releases: there is no new key for the Creator Update
Usage needs to be reviewed

5. Windows 10 MAK When should I use a MAK?
The machine never comes to campus, and does not VPN onto campus
The machine is not in a lab (MAK keys may never be used in labs)
The machine is somehow blocked from main campus networks and the KMS
MAK’s are limited, but provide no insight into how they are used

6. Windows
Windows 10 Education and Enterprise v1703 (the “Creator Update”) was released May 1
Available now on OSU SLS to Site License Software Coordinators
Please test before rollout

7. Windows 10 1703 - Features Billed as a “Creators Update,” it includes:
Paint 3D
Beam game broadcasting and other gaming tools
Update to the Edge browser
Security updates, including Dynamic Lock
Dynamic Lock pairs with your phone and detects when you step away from your computer to lock it
Skype update

8. Microsoft Renewal
I need your feedback to negotiate with Microsoft about what should be in our next agreement. Some thoughts:
RDS CALs
Project/Visio
Microsoft InTune
???
(cost reductions are always on the table)

9. Creative Cloud Complete
At renewal in November, we will migrate over to Creative Cloud Complete
Currently, we have Creative Cloud Desktop
No access to mobile apps, no storage, and no Portfolio, Typekit, or Behance
This will add a lot of functionality to the suite
It will also force a change in installation type:
Currently, we are doing serialized installations/activations
We will move to named user installation/activations

10. Possible Adobe Deal
OH-TECH is also discussing a larger purchase to cover all entities in the state with a single purchase
Current cost of OH-Tech agreement is around $26/FTE
This is up from our current cost (about $20.50/FTE)
This includes a plethora of tools we do not have, however
It also will allow us to bring along students

11. Adobe Home Use
With a new agreement, the Home Use equation changes a bit
Named users don’t require activation the way serialized users do.
Currently pending a security assessment from OCIO to move forward with Shibboleth integration

12. Tableau
We’ve entered discussions about a site-wide license for Tableau
We’re looking for a price we can take to the SFO’s for FTE-based funding
This is a product with wide use across both research and administrative users
OARnet may also get involved and expand the license beyond OSU
We are working to add Educational pricing to the State Term agreement in the meantime

13. Oracle Licenses
OCIO is planning to assess the current value of the Oracle Database licenses on campus with the arrival of Workday.
Moving to Workday may provide an opportunity to reduce or alter spend with Oracle
OCIO wants to ensure that the users who may have Oracle Databases don’t have their licensing pulled unexpectedly
Watch OCIO communications for more information, and I’ll try and update next month here

14. Purchasing Projects Ohio Innovation Exchange (OiEx) RFP
“LinkedIn for Ohio Researchers”
Online Proctoring for ODEE
Two web redesign bids for Wexner Center for the Arts
Small AV/TV and cable bids
Airwatch was purchased by OCIO to replace Good without a bid (on contract)

15. Questions/Comments Next meetings
(tentative) May 31, 2017 – location: TBD
I will try to schedule a few months out on these and pull them back to a regular occurrence with more advance warning.
