The Division of the State Chief Information Officer (CIO) is pleased to announce the implementation of Microsoft's new Home Use Program (HUP) which offers qualified CIO employees the ability to obtain many of the Microsoft Office desktop applications for their home use at a fraction of the retail cost.
Through this unique program, CIO employees in FTEs, Time-Limited and Temporary Payroll positions may purchase a licensed copy of select Microsoft Office desktop programs, including Microsoft Outlook, Publisher, Excel, Word, PowerPoint and Access, for a fulfillment fee of approximately $20. Both MS Office and Office Mac versions are offered.
Full details of the Home Use Program, as well as ordering instructions, can be found in a letter to CIO employees dated July 6, 2007, in which State CIO Dr. Jim Bryant announced the following:
