In order to improve the security and reliability of the computer systems that IT Services provides and maintains, our users are not permitted to install software on these computers without the assistance of IT Services. In other words we do not allow administrator rights to our users. However, in order to save time and frustration we have created the CW Software Center and made it available on all of our systems. The Software Center is a catalog of programs and applications that has been pre-approved by CWF IT for users to install on their computers. Installing an application from the Software Center does not require local administrator rights, so any user can complete an install without contacting IT Services for help. Some applications (e.g. Opera) are ‘pushed’ to computers based on its identified business use and will not available for users to install or uninstall from the Software Center. In order to access the Software Center please follow the instructions below:
If you don't see an application available from the Software Center and believe is should be please contact End User Services either by phone at x7300 or by submitting a Service Request from the IT Support Portal.
