Software Policy. IT Personnel support all software installed on City computers; however, IT staff may be unable to fully support the use of non-standard or specialty software. IT may decline to install, reinstall, or otherwise fix software that is not approved by the IT Department. To ensure that IT is able to support all software installed on City computers, IT must approve the installation and use of all software. Because all software on City computers must comply with the publishers’ licensing requirements, IT staff will not install software unless and until ownership and proper licensing is established. All City employees, either temporary or full-time, must conform to copyright laws and software licensing agreements. Copying and/or duplicating software is prohibited unless specifically permitted within the software license agreement. The City’s current preferred enterprise solution is Tyler Technology application software whenever practical. All software must be purchased following City of Pueblo Purchasing Guidelines. Implementation or enhancement of any City software is done by the IT Department. Microsoft application software. Microsoft Office is made available through O365 cloud-based services, and is acquired through IT using a volume purchase agreement. This ensures low pricing and the appropriate version of software to address the requirements. Other Microsoft application software, such as Visio, Project, Publisher and individual Office applications when needed (Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint) will also be purchased through IT’s volume purchase agreement. Microsoft Operating Systems (Windows 7, 8.1 and 10). Generally, operating system software is purchased as part of a new PC purchase. In some cases, it is appropriate to upgrade operating systems. In such cases, the upgraded software is purchased through IT’s volume license. Software that is not the City’s property or licensed to the City will not be installed on City computers.
