Contract for Purchase of Software System for the University's Central Stores Operation

(20) The three campus Central Stores, in carrying out their responsibilities to provide the most commonly used commodities on a timely basis, face increasing overhead costs which could be offset to a large degree by modernizing their automated systems. The current systems have not been improved since the late 1960s at Urbana-Champaign and the early 1970s at the Chicago campuses. Since the problems are common to all campuses, the University has sought a firm qualified to develop and install a modern automated stores system to meet the current needs of the campus storerooms with provisions to make future modifications as required. A proposal has been received from National Software Enterprises, Inc., Elmhurst, to develop and install a computerized automated central stores system at the campuses, including the design, testing, and installation of the system software; to prepare data processing and user documentation; and to provide a royalty-free, nonexclusive and irrevocable license to use the system and all future systems software modifications and upgrades.
