This is a multi-state Statewide Contract for software and related services, including installation, implementation, customization, training, support, and maintenance. This contract includes vendors that are Software Resellers, Software Publishers, and Software Implementation Services Providers. Types ofsoftware available include Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) Software, Software as a Service (“SaaS”), Platform as a Service (“PaaS”), and Infrastructure as a Service (“IaaS”). Major differences between ITS75 and the predecessor contract ITS58 include: • Seven large Software Resellers representing multiple software publishers rather than five vendors • Direct contracts with select Software Publishers • Niche Software Resellers specializing in a specific product or defined market segment • Provisions for PaaS and IaaS (SaaS was already present under ITS58) • Vendors in all Categories may provide installation, implementation, customization, training, support, and maintenance services using their own staff. Software Reseller pricing (Categories 1 & 2) is based on the invoice paid by the Software Reseller to the Software Publisher, with a percentage markup or markdown. Pricing for Software Publishers (Category 3) and Implementation Services Providers (Category 4) is based on a percentage discount from the vendor’s Enterprise Price List and/or a Rate Card for hourly rates. Buyers may negotiate additional discounts.
