The framework agreement shall cover DIO and the ministries' joint ministries ́need for continuous procurement of software licences from other right holders than Microsoft.

Sub-contract 1 General software licences

Licences not included in other sub-contracts are included in this, which we have called other software. See the detailed description under Sub-Contract 1 - Other Software.

Sub-contract 2 Media production

The contracting authority and the entities require good tools for editing pictures, video and audio. The current supplier mainly consists of Adobe licences. See further description under Sub-Contract 2 - Media Production.

Sub-contract 3 Back-up system

DIO uses a system from Commvault in disciplines for back-up and local storage of e-mail boxes. There will be a need for the system going forward as well, but there will be changes on the licence model based on the manufacturer making changes here. See the detailed description under sub-contract 3 Back-up system.

Sub-contract 4 Virtualisation

See the approaching description under Sub-Contract 4 Virtualisation.

Sub-contract 5 IT Service manager (ITSM/ESM)

DIO is in the process of constructing a new infrastructure platform. In anticipation of this being completed, there may be a need for interim systems in the cloud. The sub-contract shall therefore ensure the necessary flexibility so that DIO can procure cloud licences and additional modules that support both temporary and long-term needs. See the detailed description under Sub-Contract 5 IT Service Manager (ITSM/ESM).

Sub-contract 6 Video conference

The contracting authority needs Pexip licences for video conferencing services and accompanying software to ensure efficient interaction, meeting and collaboration across the organisation. See the detailed description under Sub-Contract 6 Video Conference.
