I am a network administrator in a large secondary school. Subjet teachers are always buying “educational” subject specific software, or buying into testing software produced by “educational bodies”. They buy it then expect me to load it and make it available across the network. I want to know if anyone has a policy or rule about buying software and testing before rolling out over a network. I always get blamed for it not working properly, eventhough I repeatedly request that they test the software before planning on using it across the curriculum. Can any one help me devise a get out clause or a remit to make the users buy and test their software responsibly.
