What do NSW DoE Enterprise agreements mean to you?

NSW DoE Enterprise agreements are located on our new Technology for School website

ITD sources and negotiates agreements for software on behalf of the whole of the NSW Department of Education. This ensures we all benefit from being one of the largest customers in the state. These are called enterprise agreements and we refer to this software as enterprise software. We currently have these agreements in place with:

Microsoft

Adobe

Google

SketchUp Pro

Smart Notebook


Cloud based software

Google Apps and Office 365 allows you to create files and save them directly into the cloud. This enables collaboration and the ability to access files from multiple locations.
NB. Google Apps is now known as G Suite.

Looking for a casual TL or support staff ?? guides?

The Casual TL and Support Staff wiki will be retired at the end of the year as a result of a few issues raised by some users. In its place will be a Google docs form http://tinyurl.com/h3zbqfy and the spreadsheet it creates http://tinyurl.com/jnrbzbu.

The major change is that each year on 31 December the spreadsheet will be purged, requiring all users to re-enter their details via the form. This should overcome the main complaint of out-of-date information. You can enter your data now and see what the new format looks like but remember it will all be deleted 31/12/16.

While the responses cannot be divided into states the spreadsheet is searchable (instructions on first page of spreadsheet).

Please keep your information concise and relevant. The longer your entry the harder it will be for users to read, especially on small screens.

Sue Morton
