UNM & Dell Partner to Bring Significant Discounts To Students, Faculty and Staff

DellInformation Technologies and Purchasing at UNM have announced a Strategic Partnership Agreement with Dell, Inc. to provide students, faculty and staff with discount prices on numerous Dell desktop computers, laptops, monitors and servers. UNM departments can take advantage of these significant discount prices by continuing to make their departmental purchases through LoboMart.

Students, faculty and staff can make personal-use purchases under the same agreement by visiting LoboMart.

The Strategic Partnership Agreement is part of IT’s Workstation Management (WSM) project, which implements campus-wide hardware, software and security standards on all UNM-owned computers. As well, there will be two WSM overview presentations November. The first presentation will take place at the IT Agents meeting on Wednesday, Nov. 11 at 9:30 a.m. at the SUB Mirage Thunderbird Room. The second presentation, for IT UNM, will take place Wednesday, Nov. 18 at 9 a.m. at the SUB Fiesta A & B. Additional presentations may be scheduled in December.

Updates and other information will be communicated on the WSM website, which will be updated regularly during the next few months as the project continues. For more information about the Dell partnership agreement or the WSM project, visit: WSM Project.
