  • Savings: By purchasing software for the entire University of Minnesota, the University is able to save a significant amount of money.
  • Software Compliance: The Microsoft Campus Agreement ensures software compliance for the entire University.
  • Decreased Administrative Support: The Microsoft Campus Agreement eliminates the need for meticulous record-keeping by departments of what software is installed on what computer, etc.
  • Upgrade and Downgrade Rights: The software license agreements include all vendor upgrades during the year of the software license agreement, as well as downgrade rights.
  • Future Software Saving: When departments order computers in the future, they will not need to upgrade the operating system or add an Office product to the price of the computer.
