I always compare my vendor-client relationships to what I have with Dell. Dell is my standard.
— Liza Peterson-Gary, budget and operations manager, Information Technology Services, University of San Diego, the United States
Challenge
University of San Diego needed to provide staff, faculty and students with up-to-date desktops and laptops with fast performance, but was unable to purchase new computers outright to meet all its users' needs. Solution
The university now leases approximately 1,000 new Dell desktops and laptops per year on a three-year schedule with Dell™ Financial Services to minimize up-front costs and keep staff, computer labs and libraries supplied with state-of-the-art IT tools, while lowering the total cost of ownership for the university’s desktop and laptop computers.Benefits
- Acquire new technology every three years for approximately the same cost as outright purchasing
- Saved 10 percent on total cost of ownership of university's desktops and laptops
- Streamlined procurement with Dell Premier Page eliminates the need for extra paperwork on assets
- Ability to buy computers off the lease on a per-machine basis
- Saved 75 percent of technician time on computer deployment with Dell ImageDirect service
