Why did LSU acquire TigerWare?
To provide LSU with a key IT infrastructure component necessary for a flagship-level institution. The driving force for acquiring TigerWare was to provide a mechanism to deliver products now available under LSU’s new Campus License Agreement with Microsoft; but TigerWare offers a ubiquitous platform for distributing all forms of software under licensing agreements or available freely, and to provide a central point for information about software products and how to get them.
