Dell Computer Leasing

CUMC IT  has partnered with Dell Computer to allow departments on the CUMC campus to lease desktop and laptop computers. This program provides individual departments the ability to spread the cost of technology over a period of three years.

Key Benefits of Leasing:

• Ensures CUMC users will be working with the latest technology every three years with no up front expenditure
• Streamlines the budgeting process and allows for consistency in expenditure
• Ensures that your employees will always work with the latest technology
• Allows for all of your computer equipment to always be covered under warranty
• Increases standardization, therefore lowering the University's total cost of ownership
• Standardizes disposal of all of the assets and insures that all University information is properly removed
• All removed assets are either re-marketed or disposed of according to EPA regulations for a cleaner environment

Available Models and sample pricing, as of May 5, 2009. Please note that the pricing may change quarterly for new orders only, due to changes in interest rates.

• Order requests must be placed via the online form at https://secure.cumc.columbia.edu/cumcit/forms/dell_lease.php
• Orders to Dell are filled on the 15th of each month. Your order must be submitted to CUMC IT, and confirmations and authorizations must be received, by 4pm on the 10th to be included in that month’s order from Dell.
  
• Orders for over 10 computers will require written approval from your respective Budget Offices (e.g., Martha Hooven’s Office, Fran Caracappa’s Office, etc.)
• A confirmation request for your order will be emailed to the Responsible Owner who must then respond to the confirmation request within five business days. If the response is not received within five business days, the order will not be processed.

• Upon confirmation of the delivery of your computer order your FAS account will be charged, via IDI by CUMC IT, for the first year’s payment.  Subsequent payments for years two and three will be charged in the first quarter of each successive lease year.

Lease Terms and Agreement

• This is a 36 month lease schedule that is approved under a CU Purchasing Department agreement. This agreement ensures that the equipment will be returned to the department at the end of the lease term. There is no end of term buy out.
• If computers are lost or damaged, the lessee will be required to pay all fees relating to that loss or damage.
