Digital Marketplace

The goal of the Digital Marketplace (DMP) initiative is to enable the effective distribution of network-based digital goods and resources in support of CSU academic programs. This is based on the growing need to effectively acquire, share, market, and distribute commercial and non-commercial digital learning content and resources within the institutional environment; and to integrate the content within instructional programs.

The objectives of the Digital Marketplace initiative are to:

• Act as a collaborative function to provide leverage with vendors for campus academic technology products and services, resulting in reduced costs through "volume" negotiations with vendors.
• Provide a one-stop, web-based service for the selection, contribution, sharing, approval, procurement and distribution of no-cost and cost-based academic technology products and service, resulting in the coordinated development and delivery of academic technology products and services on a systemwide basis.
• Reliably and securely manage the digital rights and usage of academic technologies.
