I also wanted to remind folks about ISORA Lite (a free service for shared Vendor assessments).
This leverages EDUCAUSE’s HECVAT standard and there are 50 completed vendor assessments launched by EDUs across the 
country and another 80 underway.
Thus far there have been 400 unique EDU participants from over 200 campuses.  You can access ISORA Lite via:
