Requesting Microsoft Office Software

Requesting Microsoft Office Software

California Montessori Project primarily utilizes Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) for its back-office applications. These tools serve as direct replacements for Microsoft Office programs such as Excel, Word, and PowerPoint.

However, we understand that some staff may be more familiar with—or have advanced expertise in—the Microsoft Office suite. If using Microsoft Office is essential to your productivity or workflow, we may be able to accommodate your request.

To request a Microsoft Office license:

1. Go to the CMP IT Helpdesk: https://cacmp.freshdesk.com/support/home

2. Submit a ticket under the category "Purchasing Request"

3. For Purchasing Options, select:

   • Technology

   • Software Licensing

4. In the subject and description fields, clearly state your request for a Microsoft Office license, including justification or specific needs.

5. Complete all required fields and submit the ticket.

What happens next:

• We will contact your designated Approver (as listed in the ticket) to obtain purchase approval.

• Once the license is received, it will be assigned to you.

• Installation will be handled by the IT department, as it requires special administrative credentials.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out via the ticketing system.

At that point we will be following the steps in this article to completion: How to install MS365 applications
