Anti-Virus software licensing 2011-12

 Information, Procurement
Mar 152011
 

Anti-virus licences for Devon, Plymouth and Torbay schools expire on March 31st 2011. ScoMIS have been able to successfully negotiate with our supplier which means that there will be no increase in price for the third year running. McAfee School Client Licences will remain at £2.64 per licence.

Please complete the online form indicating if your school would like to buy into the anti-virus service, and also how many licences will be required. Details of the anti-virus software are available on the ScoMIS website at http://www.scomis.org/go/antivirus. If you are making your own arrangements to purchase antivirus software elsewhere, please indicate this on the on-line form. This will prevent licence update reminders being sent to you.

ScoMIS highly recommend schools carry out a full inventory in both the curriculum and administration areas to enable the correct number of licences are purchased to cover each PC and laptop within the school (including any home use PC).

Schools who choose not to purchase anti-virus licences from ScoMIS will need to source their own anti-virus licences and remove the anti-virus software supplied by ScoMIS from all their PCs by the 31st March 2011.

For further information please contact the ScoMIS Service Desk on 01392 385300

ScoMIS Laptop Encryption

 Procurement
Feb 262010
 

ScoMIS sent an email to all schools before half term introducing the new ScoMIS Laptop Encryption Service which explained how we had been able to create an affordable, centrally supported and managed solution for laptop encryption.

Any laptop protected by the service is safe and secure in the event that it is lost or stolen. The data would be unreadable by any third party whilst still offering the ability to recover access due a lost password through a short call to our service desk. We have also developed a simple and straight forward installation routine to enable a pain free roll out across your school.

We also explained that the low cost had been achieved by building a solution to utilise the buying power of schools across Devon and that Devon County Council had made available some funding to reduce this cost further for your school. Using our online calculator you can work out the total cost and funding available for your school before placing your order.

Action Required

You need to respond using our online order form to either:

  • Accept your funding and indicate the number of laptops you want to protect
  • Indicate that you will be using an alternative solution to ensure that all teacher and administration laptops are encrypted with a solution adhering to BECTA best practice guidelines

This return needs to be made by March 12th 2010
