Software

Rather than install all of the software we own on all of the PC's in the district, we have applications that allow users to manage their own software installation if and when they need the software. This is for PC users only. MAC users have a similar option using Self Service.

If you have a newer PC you most likely have our newer version of Software Management installed. This is called the Company Portal. If you have an older PC, you will have the Legacy version called Software Center. On your desktop you will see a shortcut for either Software Center or Company Portal.

Software Center

There is an icon on your desktop called Software Center. Open it and browse through or search for the software you need. Select it and press install. Follow the onscreen directions. The new software will appear in your start menu.

Laptop Power Settings

In Software Center, you can also change the Power Management settings. Click on the Options link in the left panel. Expand the Power management section and check the box in front of Do not apply power settings from my IT department to this computer. This option is not available in the Company Portal.

Company Portal

If you have a Modern device you will find a shortcut to the Company Portal on the desktop. Open it and browse through or search for the software you need. Select it and press install. Follow the onscreen directions. The new software will appear in your start menu.
