Software Installation
There is a wealth of curriculum software available, and Hertfordshire
ICT Curriculum Consultants can advise on the best choice to meet the needs
of your school's ICT development plan, and how to enhance provision for
particular key
stages. To contact ICT curriculum advisers, e-mail: ict.consultants@hertscc.gov.uk or
ring 01582 830325
Before installing additional software to your network, make sure that you have the appropriate licenses that permit you to use this; schools should keep an audit of those purchased, whether pre-installed or added to the system and how many users are allowed. Discounted educational and multi-user licenses are available from Hertfordshire Purchasing Services.
Ensure that the software you plan to install will work with your operating
system, that you have sufficient space and memory to run it. Older
software may not run on Windows XP. Be
aware of ongoing developments, particularly with school management information
software, which has frequent upgrades to keep up with increasing demands.
Loading software across a network can be complicated, and may need
technical expertise to ensure compatibility between applications. SITSS
networks support
help-desk can advise, or installations can be booked. Link to Support
Contracts & Services for price details.
