Microsoft Campus Agreement UBC Information TechnologyMicrosoft Campus Agreement • October 3rd, 2007
Contract Type FiledOctober 3rd, 2007UBC has an opportunity to save approximately $800,000 annually on its licensing costs for Microsoft products. UBC can achieve savings by moving from a purchasing model to a leasing model for core desktop software products. The Microsoft Campus Agreement is a university-wide annual program that allows UBC staff and faculty to use designated software for the agreement period. Under a campus agreement, license counts are FTE based, but cover all university owned equipment – a significant savings for UBC as there are more workstations (at least 20,000) than FTE’s. The program also extends work-at-home rights for UBC faculty and staff.
