Standard Software Suite
All computers purchased through ITS have the Law School's standard software suite pre-installed. Staff members are requested to consult with ITS on software purchases that are outside of the standard software suite. This will allow ITS to keep track of additional software purchases and investigate if this additional software should be added to our standard software suite.
Standard Software Suite includes:
- Windows XP
- Office 2003 Professional (Access, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Publisher)
- Outlook
- Adobe Acrobat Reader
- HLS/FAS VPN Client Software

Departments
Departments who wish to make additional software purchases are welcome to call the Faculty-Staff Help Desk. The Faculty-Staff Help Desk will gladly make the actual purchase of this additional software, however, we will need to bill this cost back to the department.
ITS also supports Dreamweaver, however, this software needs to be purchased by the department. Please note that support for sites that do not use the HLS-template system is not available at this time. For more information about Dreamweaver, please contact the Faculty-Staff Help Desk at 5.0722.

The Polling Tool (Questionnaire Software)
The Polling Tool is an on-line application that allows users to create on-line surveys. You could also use the Polling Tool for posting quizzes, exams, and surveys. You must have a valid HUID and pin to author a poll, but the poll can be taken by anyone with an internet connection. For more information about the polling tool, please visit http://icommons.harvard.edu/userdocs/pollhtml/using_the_polling_tool.htm.
