Each year ITSC negotiates a number of deals with software vendors. This gives departments a coordinated and economical way to acquire and update the software they need. There are two categories of software being coordinated by ITSC:

1. University-wide Software under Central Funding:

For software that has a widespread demand among departments, site licenses are purchased under central funding and thus reduce the overall costs of software purchase. Departments need only buy the media and documentation if necessary. Below is a list of site-licensed software programs and packages available for departmental use.
