Company Overview
The MathWorks is the leading developer and supplier of technical computing software in the world
Headquartered in Natick, Massachusetts The MathWorks was founded in 1984 and employs over 1,000 people worldwide
Our customers are 1,000,000 of the world's leading technical people, in over 100 countries, on all seven continents
These technical people work at the world's most innovative technology companies, government research labs, financial institutions, and at more than 3,500 universities

Background: Survey of Education customers identified four major areas for improvement regarding current license model for large installations
customer planning; -High Cost to provide Student home use for Institute of Technology and College of Biological Sciences. -Many different licenses with varied purchase prices, renewal rates, and renewal dates.
License Administration-Combination of license options, types of use, and of products results in
complex license administration when centrally managed;-Currently process needed to distinguish between classroom and research use, local or network install, cannot install on student owned hardware.
Software Availability-Education customers who wish to coordinate license purchases centrally
advocate the introduction of an academic institution-wide license option;-Demand for non-network access for instructors and researchers in many schools and departments, both current and potential users.
-Technology Fee survey results indicate demand for use on student owned equipment.License Management
-Mission to standardize use compliance on campus;-Difficult to track the number and configuration of licenses, challenges keeping track of license inventory, uncertainty regarding classroom use vs. research use.

TAH License Option - Overview Objectives:
• Increase availability of MathWorks products to faculty, staff, researchers and students;
• Reduce the administrative burden of license management.
Who will benefit from this program?Any college or university that wishes to:• Purchase and administer software centrally;• Provide access to MathWorks products to every
Faculty, Staff, Researcher and/ or Student at an academic institution;
• License software on an annual basis.

TAH - Features Key license option features:
– Term: Annual– License Access: Both or either one of these options can be selected
• Campus Option: Academic institution-wide access on university-owned machines
o On- campus access for all faculty, staff, researchers and students (Graduate & Undergraduate)
o Classroom/lab installations are permittedo Standalone and network installation types are permittedo Faculty, staff & researchers are licensed for home/laptop useo Students are licensed for use in on-campus computing facilities only.
• Student Option: Students licensed on personally-owned machines
o Allows students access on their home/laptop computers
• Signal Processing Toolbox; • Control System Toolbox; • Optimization Toolbox; • Statistics Toolbox; • Image Processing Toolbox; • Signal Processing Blockset; • Stateflow; • Data Acquisition Toolbox; • Instrument Control Toolbox; • Curve Fitting Toolbox; • SimMechanics; • Bioinformatics Toolbox
Why “Base” and “Standard” configurations?
• Base configuration represents our core product set.
• Standard configuration accounts for most highly-used products and new cutting-edge products
• Campus-wide Add-on tools available as needed.

TAH – ”How do I count Relevant Population?”
Pricing is based on size of “relevant” population, defined as faculty, staff, researchers, graduate students and undergraduate students in:
Engineering Biological and Life Sciences Mathematics Physical Sciences Business & Economics
The preferred data source is IPEDS data reported to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), an organization to which US universities supply faculty, staff, researcher and student population data.
“The Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS), established as the core postsecondary education data collection program for NCES, is a system of surveys designed to collect required statistical data from all primary providers of postsecondary education.

TAH – “ How do I count Relevant Population?”
NOTE: While academic institution-wide PRICING is based on the size of the “relevant” population, ALL departments will have access to licensed MathWorks products.
For example: IF Professor Smith from the Art Department wants MATLAB;
AND The University has licensed MATLAB on an academic
institution-wide basis; THEN Professor Smith has the right to use MATLAB, even though
he is not a member of the Engineering, Math, Science or Business Departments.

TAH: University of MinnesotaI PEDS CIP CODE/ ACADEMIC DISCIPLINE
University of Minnesota TAH Scenarios Standard Student Option = $38,726
MATLAB, Simulink, and 12 add-on products for every Twin Cities student. Standard Campus and Standard Student Option =
$128,434 vs. an average of $40,000 yearly spend plus $87,000 yearly for ~1500+ incoming engineering and life sciences students.
Standard Campus Option + 11 Products, and Standard Student Option = $148,234 [Covers ~ 88% of average costs, 91% of seats] Communications Toolbox Robust Control ToolboxFilter Design Toolbox Spline ToolboxMATLAB Compiler System Identification ToolboxNeural Network Toolbox Wavelet ToolboxPartial Differential Equations xPC TargetReal Time Workshop
Standard Campus Option + 36 Products, and Standard Student Option = $160,834
19 Existing Products on SMS 17 New or Reinstated Products
* Add $1650 to each in estimated maintenance and NPS yearly for Symbolic Math and Extended Symbolic Math

TAH: What are the Benefits?
Budget & Cost Control • Ability to offer a common set of tools to all technical and scientific
users for a set price;• Better value for the entire University vs. Student Group, at nearly
the same cost; • New Product Add-on Prices to TAH are capped and pro-rated to end
date of agreement; Simplified License Administration
• Unlicensed managed passcodes support all installation types, license options and platforms;
• No need to distinguish between classroom and research use, local or network installation, student or university owned hardware.
Improved Software Availability• Dramatically increase the availability of MathWorks software to all
faculty, staff, researchers and students;• Non-network access campus-wide in all departments• Higher satisfaction with the value of the Technology Fee
More Effective License Management• No need to track concurrent usage levels, user counts, or separate
classroom and research license pools. • One standard configuration campus wide.

The other options for student home-use: Student Group for all ~5600 undergraduate
students in Institute of Technology & Bio and Life Sciences = $280,000
Student Group for ~3500 full time undergraduates in Institute of Technology = $189,000
Student Group all ~1500 estimated incoming freshman in Institute of Technology & Bio Life Sciences = $87,000
TAH Standard Student Option for all students University wide = $38,726
TAH Base Student Option for all students University wide = $27,662
Students purchase their own copies for $100 each at the bookstore or online.
20
Student Group vs. TAH Student Option Student Group figures include only MATLAB,
Simulink and most of the functionality of Symbolic Math Toolbox.
No periodic updates / upgrades for Student Group. Does not provide for students outside of IT [and
Bio and Life Sciences]. TAH Standard Student Option includes 12 add-on
products. TAH provides for updates/upgrades as they
become available. TAH includes all students in all departments
enrolled on Twin Cities campus. ~$7 of technology fee dollars from Institute of
Technology & Biology & Life Sciences students completely funds TAH Standard Student Option. [$38,726 / 5640 students = $6.86 each]
21
Other options for Local Access
Group license to provide node-locked stand-alone access to MATLAB
Pool of Individual Named-User licenses to provide greater flexibility in stand-alone access.
In both cases, discounts are offered based on the number of seats purchased at one time.
