Software packages seem to be updated more regularly than ever, and UCS has a number of core software packages which are deployed campus wide, Microsoft Office being one such example.  In order for IT Services to keep the software estate up to date we need to liaise with suppliers, course leaders and managers about what they need and can realistically afford to purchase.  Other software we aim to keep as up to date as possible and we are always looking for the latest versions. 

Here is a list of key software we manage and when we plan to update it.
