The software purchasing, distribution, and licensing service provides software and site licenses for Brock University Faculty, Staff and Labs. ITS is responsible for securing the products and maintaining agreements over the functional life of each product.

By centralizing the procurement of software through ITS, the University is able to secure lower prices, provide broader product availability, and ensure Service Level Agreements are managed for the University. Please refer to the Request tab for more information on available software and site licenses.
