Authorization to Purchase Oracle Database Software Maintenance and Support<br />
The College uses Oracle Enterprise Edition Database server software to run a number of<br />
applications including our Student and Financial systems (Banner) and our degree audit<br />
and academic planning system (u.achieve). These licenses are a mix of application<br />
specific licenses that can only be used by Banner, and unrestricted licenses that can be<br />
used by any application. The unrestricted licenses include a two-processor unlimited<br />
license <strong>for</strong> our production servers and a 25 named user license <strong>for</strong> test and development,<br />
as well as two programmer licenses. The renewal of annual support and maintenance is<br />
necessary to provide support <strong>for</strong> day to day critical operations, as well as to allow access<br />
to ongoing software updates and releases. This year <strong>Oakton</strong>’s Oracle support contract <strong>for</strong><br />
the unrestricted licenses will cost $25,400, an increase of 3% ($740) over last year’s cost.<br />
The contract covers the period July 1, <strong>2015</strong> through June 30, 2016.<br />
