      Software and Operating System Upgrade Rollout Targets

      Upgrading classroom and lab workstations to Window 7 is a primary project for the Classroom and Lab Support Services team this coming year. Our plan is to pilot test this new operating system in targeted locations and conduct a full rollout in Summer, 2011. Here's our plan:

      • August, 2011 -- Upgrade all classroom and lab workstations to Windows 7 (Complete)

      Other Software Plans

      • Adobe Create Suite 6 Master Collection Windows (everything Adobe makes) -- Spring, 2013
      • Adobe Create Suite 5 Master Collection MAC (now available in FA 110) COMPLETE
      • Quickbooks Premier 2012 (COBA, Hickman, WACO) -- Fall, 2012
      • Final Cut Express MAC (now available in FA 110) COMPLETE
      • Visual Studio 2010 -- Fall, 2011 COMPLETE
      • Office 2010 -- Fall, 2011 COMPLETE
      • SPSS 19 -- Fall, 2011 COMPLETE
      • MatLab 2010 -- Fall, 2011 (currently activated for Math 227 and HYEG 203 & 204; but we can activate it for other labs given 10 days notification) COMPLETE
      • Accumark 8.4 -- Fall, 2011 COMPLETE
      • Mathematica 8 -- Fall, 2011 COMPLETE

      As always, we will continue to do our yearly upgrades for other common software like we have always done in the past, barring any funding problems.
