ESRI continues to be the principal supplier of GIS software and utilities for the OSU campus. We are using their software in dozens of labs on campus and in many of the large teaching labs. Currently there are well over a 1000 copies of various ESRI software products on campus, representing a value of well over $200,000. There have been discussions about centrally funding this, and other, site licenses on campus, but this is not going to be an option in the near future. Last year's cost-share structure was used because of the two categories of products that the site license provides:
This approach does significantly change the cost for some units, but does more accurately spread the costs to the principal users. It is proposed that each College and IS provide an index number which can be passed on to purchasing. If the College wishes to spread those costs to individual PIs or Departments, that accounting should be done within the College. Attempting to coordinate payments from dozens of PIs will prevent the invoicing from being completed in time and the site license will founder.
The proposed charges for 1999-2000 are:
Unit | Base | % Use | Use Share | Total Contribution |

Information Services | $5000 | 5 | -- | $5000 |
College of Science | $500 | 12 (Geosci) 6 (Others) | $2211 (Geosci) $1105(Others) | $3816 |

Colleges (in a proportion to be determined): $5000/year
Research Office $15000/year
Even though we have discovered that 70% of campus-wide usage of ESRI products is research-related, the Research Office maintains a policy of not committing to recurring costs of any kind.
Agriculture: 113
Engineering: 259
Science: 151 (136 of which were in Geosciences)
COAS: 50
Forestry: 281
Biological Computing Consortium: 40
Biological Computing Consortium is made up of 10 departments, mostly in the College of Science.
The department of Geosciences is a major user of the license and has a huge investment in GIS. In recognition of that, and in light of the Research Office's policy on recurring costs, Sherm Bloomer, Chair of Geosciences, provided $2500 from department funds to support the license renewal for 1997-'98. He also proposed allocating the remaining costs to units based on their use of the license, as reflected in the installations noted above (less the Geosciences number for the College of Science). This is how the $25,000 cost was shared for the 1997-'98 site license:
Department | Original | Plus Use Cost |
Total Contribution |
---|---|---|---|
Information Services | $7500/year | 0 | 7500 |
Research Office | $7500/year | 0 | 0 |
College of Science | $2000/year | 100 | 2100 |
College Forestry | $2000/year | 1955 | 3955 |
College of Engineering | $2000/year | 1805 | 3805 |
College of Ag.Sciences | $2000/year | 790 | 2790 |
COAS | $2000/year | 350 | 2350 |
Dept. of Geosciences | 2500 | ||
TOTAL | $25,000 | 25,000 |
At any rate, our funding request for this year is still a scenario where the colleges contribute most of the support:
Information Services $7500/year
Research Office $7500/year
College of Science $2000/year
College of Forestry $2000/year
College of Engineering $2000/year
College of Agricultural Sciences $2000/year
College of Oceanic & Atmospheric Sciences $2000/year
These are the colleges that have a vested interest in GIS and/or may have the most users of the software.
Below is a listing of departments that are current, active users of the site license. The number following the department name is the estimated number of users (NOT actual licenses) for the products they have ordered under the site license. The names that follow the numbers are the faculty or staff who have ordered on behalf of their user base of researchers/students/staff/faculty, etc.
