<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">The <strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><a href="http://www.cio.arizona.edu/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#954F72">Office of the CIO</span></a></span></strong>,
in collaboration with the <strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><a href="http://ditc.arizona.edu/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#954F72">Dean's Information Technology Council</span></a></span></strong> and the UA Site Licensing Task
Force, has recently negotiated two significant license agreements for Qualtrics and Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) to increase access to these important tools, achieve operational efficiencies and reduce costs to the UA research and instructional
community.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">The first new license is for <a href="http://www.qualtrics.com/" target="_blank"><strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Qualtrics</span></strong></a>, and is an unlimited
university site license for all UA faculty, staff and students. Qualtrics provides a robust, high-quality instrument to develop both online, offline, and mobile surveys. Qualtrics also provides a secure tool that meets SAS 70 requirements, US and European
Safe Harbor regulations, IRB standards and regulations, and is FERPA compliant.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Colleges that have previously purchased a Qualtrics license will administer their individual licenses with a unique URL and interface. This allows surveys to be generated and identified as
originating from specific colleges or organizations, increases the ability to manage and support researchers, develops discipline-specific tools and enhances collaboration opportunities. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">To gain access to Qualtrics, contact your college or department IT director. A university-wide system will be available in early November. There are a limited number of licenses still available
under the UA contract. If your college or department is interested in learning more about getting a UA license to Qualtrics, please contact Brian Atkinson (<a href="mailto:atkinson@email.arizona.edu"><span style="color:#954F72">atkinson@email.arizona.edu</span></a>)
or Jason Masciantoni (<a href="mailto:jasonm2@email.arizona.edu"><span style="color:#954F72">jasonm2@email.arizona.edu</span></a>). </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">The second is a renewal of the <a href="http://uabookstore.arizona.edu/technology/deptsublicense.asp" target="_blank"><strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">ESRI</span></strong></a> license
for a suite of geographic information system (GIS) software, ArcGIS, for GIS professionals, location analytics, and developers under a new centralized purchase agreement by the Office of the CIO. Administration of the software license has transferred from
the UA Bookstore to University Information Technology Services. ESRI software is available at no cost to all UA faculty and staff.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">The UA Bookstore will continue to distribute the ESRI media until a new distribution process is arranged. To access ESRI software visit <strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><a href="http://uabookstore.arizona.edu/technology/deptsublicense.asp" target="_blank"><span style="color:#954F72;font-weight:normal">http://uabookstore.arizona.edu/technology/deptsublicense.asp</span></a></span></strong><b>.</b></span><o:p></o:p></p>
