History at Tufts
Tufts University signed an agreement with LANDesk on June 28, 2003 for LANDesk Management Suite 7 and hired OSSID as an implementation partner.
During our last major upgrade in May of 2011, we upgraded from LANDesk Mananagement Suite 8.8 to LANDesk Management Suite 9.0 using BizCarta as a vendor/consultant.
BizCarta implemented and designed the current LANDesk Management Suite 9.0 Environment. During this time we also switched from a perpetual license model to full-time equivalent (FTE) enrollment licensing model that covers 15,905 nodes (Faculty/Staff/Students) and also licensed the LANDesk Security Suite which includes the Patch and Compliance module.  Unfortunately under the FTE license model we lost unlimited call support and had purchase separate incident packs for LANDesk support. Our current LANDesk licensing is up for renewal/expires on 7/23/2012
