====== Software ======


Software use at Bethel Baptist Ministries goes through 3 checks before being deployed:

==== 1. Is it legal? ====
We need to make sure that we have secured the appropriate licensing rights to use the software in our ministry.

==== 2. Does it work in our environment? ====
Software is first loaded in a lab environment where we can test that it will not have adverse effects on our network.

==== 3. Is it appropriate? ====
Ministry computers are for ministry purposes, and your manager will determine if a particular software title is appropriate for ministry use.


====== ======
When those three criteria are met, The IT department can install the software on your work computer.
