This is a Service Level Agreement (“SLA”) between the campus community and ICIT to document:
ICIT provides a standard suite of software, including the Microsoft Office suite, on all new university-owned computers, that is licensed by UW-Whitewater. ICIT will assist departments in the purchase of additional software, and provide services to install the software in offices, classrooms or labs.
Software installation is provided by ICIT through ZENworks for campus Windows workstations for academic and administrative use. As software applications are purchased and as updated versions of currently supported software are released, installers are updated or added to the Zenworks Application Window. UW-Whitewater faculty and staff can access the installers via the campus network for self-service installation or may contact ICIT to request the installation. Installers are customized to provide for consistent installation and to incorporate any required licensing information.
For the Macintosh environment, ICIT will install software on request. Network installers will be available in the near future for MS Office and generally available software.
Certain software may also have a home-use or work-at-home (WAH) licensing agreement, enabling university staff and faculty to install on personal home computers.
Acquisition
ICIT will purchase, install and track licenses for university software purchases.

Impact Level 2 and 3 service requests will be handled during normal business hours. If a department/division does not receive a contact within the specified time for their Impact Level, an email should be sent to sla-ICIT@uww.edu.
The creation and maintenance of software installers has no cost to the user; however, software licensing/purchasing fees may apply.
Service level agreements (SLA's) allow Instructional, Communication and Information Technology to offer colleges, departments and university organizations IT services on an enterprise level.
