Divisional computers, laptops and tablets come with many standard programs, along with some optional ones available for team members to download. The table below lists all software of this type.
Special Software: Any software not listed below is considered "special software" and requires a service request and possibly the purchase of a license before it can be installed by a technician. Please note that web-based systems or applications (like EBS, RMS Mercury, Sequoia QuadPoint, PeopleAdmin, DocViewer, etc.) are not listed, as access to these systems is controlled completely by user login permission, not software installation.
Optional Software: If software is listed as "optional" for divisional computers, team members can install the software themselves. To install optional software, refer to the steps below, or see this knowledge base article for more detailed information about Software Center.
- Click Start and type Software Center in the search field.
