The University promotes a software license management approach focused on efficiency and cross-functional support for all research, teaching, and administrative activities.
The goal is to consolidate a shared governance model that ensures financial sustainability, transparency in decision-making, and a technological offering that is consistently aligned with the real needs of the academic community.
Streamlining
To organize and structure activities related to license management in order to promote simplification and operational efficiency.
Applicability across multiple areas
Prioritize software solutions that meet the needs of multiple units (such as Departments, Centers, or Study Programs) or different disciplinary areas, maximizing the benefit for the entire community.
Economic sustainability
Optimize resource use through the rationalization of purchases and the introduction of cost-sharing models involving the beneficiaries.
'Campus' software is defined as software acquired centrally for widespread and cross-cutting use. This category includes solutions with a university-wide impact and tools useful across multiple disciplinary areas. Software intended for highly specific uses, limited to individual research contexts or laboratories, remains the responsibility of the respective organizational units.
Applicability across multiple areas
The software's ability to generate benefits across multiple university units.
Distribution
The significance of the expected number of users (faculty, researchers, or students) on a university-wide scale.
To ensure that the technological investment remains useful and efficient, the catalog undergoes an annual review. This process verifies the continued fulfillment of adoption requirements (cross-cutting applicability, adoption, and cost-effectiveness) and monitors the actual use of licenses. If usage conditions change or more advantageous alternatives emerge, software management may be reassessed or returned to the relevant organizational units.
