Mark Thomas

Mark Thomas works for the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities (MnSCU), Office of the Chancellor, where he manages system-wide software contracts. In 2002, Mark established an ESRI site license covering all 32 colleges and universities in the MnSCU System. In 2009, Mark completed negotiations with ESRI and the University of Minnesota (U of M) to establish a statewide higher education site license. Under this agreement, the U of M partnered with MnSCU to form a statewide higher education site license. Now both organizations have full access to ESRI technology for all campuses. In addition this agreement also covers U of M Research Centers, along with more than 80 University of Minnesota Extension Offices.

The new Statewide Higher Education Site License provides GIS technology access to help enable Minnesota to become a leader in geospatial education.
