TRC, CDW, and MCCA

Hello,

Has the Campus received any official word from TRC regarding
a merger 
with CDW? If so, how will this effect a department that has
an 
agreement for the Microsoft Campus Agreement (MCCA) or other
licensed software?

Thanks,
Johnathon

Johnathon ,

The system-wide Technology Acquisition Support team has been
notified and
has been working through a number of transition related
issues.  Following
this post, I will forward to the Micronet & Magnet lists
a related e-mail
posted to the Bits list last week.

The short answer in regards to the impact on MCCA and other
existing license
agreements is that the impact should be restricted to the
delivery channel,
not the underlying license agreements which are generally
negotiated
directly between the UC and the software manufacturer.  This
said, we are
experiencing some transition related pain in relation to the
distribution
channel (CDW-G).  Please contact me if you experience
difficulties with
CDW-G so that these can be consolidated system-wide.
