At <strong>RM</strong> Education, there’s an environmental impact in everything we do, from driving to work to planning<br />
a new building. Saving energy, sending less rubbish to landfill, making fewer business trips - it’s not just<br />
green, it makes good business sense. Our full <strong>RM</strong> Green <strong>com</strong>mitments and details of our progress can be found<br />
at www.rm.<strong>com</strong>/green<br />
<strong>RM</strong> Education PCs<br />
All <strong>RM</strong> PCs are fully <strong>com</strong>pliant with the<br />
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment<br />
Directive (WEEE Directive) – full details of<br />
the <strong>RM</strong> WEEE scheme can be seen at<br />
www.rm.<strong>com</strong>/weee<br />
Whenever we source direct from the<br />
Far East or US we have <strong>com</strong>mitted to<br />
shipping no more than 20% of the volume<br />
by airfreight. Between October 2010<br />
and November 2011 only 10.04% of our<br />
shipments were by air.<br />
For the <strong>RM</strong> One, we have recently been<br />
awarded a Major Commendation Award<br />
from the Business Commitment to the<br />
Environment (BCE) Environmental<br />
Leadership Awards.<br />
The <strong>RM</strong> One features recycled plastic in all major plastic<br />
<strong>com</strong>ponents (up to 25% recycled material), includes an<br />
‘80plus’ power supply for improved energy efficiency and 2.5”<br />
mobile hard drives are available to further reduced energy<br />
consumption. In addition, the unique Eco mode settings save<br />
up to 4W of energy consumption at the touch of a button<br />
(located on the side of the screen). Finally, the screen on the<br />
<strong>RM</strong> One is re-useable and can easily be removed after the<br />
PC has reached the end of its life to be used as a standalone<br />
monitor.<br />
Both the <strong>RM</strong> Tower and <strong>RM</strong> Desktop (D-series) feature an<br />
‘80plus bronze’ power supply as standard and fully meet the<br />
requirements of Energy Star 5.0. Although these products<br />
meet the Energy Star 5.0 criteria, they are not certified due to<br />
the high costs associated with this scheme.<br />
Recycle your old equipment and receive your rebate today!<br />
Take advantage of our ScrapIT rebate scheme by simply trading in any<br />
unwanted equipment. We will accept any brand of PC in any condition,<br />
but the better the condition/spec of the PC the higher the rebate that will<br />
be paid to you. The scheme is <strong>com</strong>pletely hassle free - we will arrange<br />
for your old PCs to be collected for free, refurbished/resold and the<br />
payment of the rebate direct to your account.<br />

Power consumption<br />
All <strong>RM</strong> PCs are available with<br />
ecoquiet technology. ecoquiet<br />
technology uses energy<br />
efficient mobile <strong>com</strong>ponents<br />
to use less energy than<br />
standard PCs therefore<br />
reducing energy bills. For<br />
a typical ecoquiet 310 PC,<br />
<strong>com</strong>pared to an <strong>RM</strong> Desktop<br />
Expert 3040, during standard<br />
use, this can save over £23 in<br />
energy costs per unit per<br />
year. ecoquiet technology<br />
is also quieter than standard<br />
desktop offerings and reduces<br />
noise disruption.<br />
For every ecoquiet<br />
<strong>com</strong>puter sold, <strong>RM</strong><br />
Education donates £1 to<br />
the Woodland Trust, the<br />
UK’s leading woodland<br />

Gold Rated PSUs<br />
Traditionally, power supplies have been designed to conform to standards and regulatory requirements, with<br />
relatively little importance given to their efficiency. The 80plus scheme is a response to this, giving defined<br />
thresholds with a labelling scheme to drive consumer awareness and improve power supply efficiency.<br />
PSU Ratings<br />
Prior to the 80plus scheme,<br />
typical PSUs were around<br />
68% efficient, meaning<br />
almost 1/3 of electricity<br />
was wasted. The 80plus<br />
requirements are stated,<br />
and can be seen to<br />
represent a significant<br />
improvement.<br />

Working in partnership with
Our Supplementary Services<br />
especially for you…<br />
To make the most of your investment, <strong>RM</strong> Education offers a range of supplementary services that will help with<br />
the installation, ongoing running and protection of your machines. From software imaging services to financial<br />
solutions we can provide these services on both <strong>RM</strong> Education and HP hardware.<br />
Insurance<br />
<strong>RM</strong> Education offers<br />
insurance for individual<br />
items purchased through<br />
<strong>RM</strong> Education, from as little as<br />
£18. The insurance is defined<br />
by the value of the equipment<br />
purchased. For more details<br />
please see <strong>RM</strong> Education<br />
Insurance on our website.<br />
Microsoft Campus<br />
installation<br />
We offer a Microsoft ®<br />
Campus installation across<br />
a selected set of the <strong>RM</strong><br />
Education range. There is<br />
no additional charge for<br />
this service. Where users<br />
are purchasing from an<br />
institution that has a current<br />
campus agreement, they<br />
can request a campus<br />
installation. The PC would<br />
be shipped licensed with<br />
Microsoft Windows Home<br />
Premium and pre-installed<br />
with Windows 8 Pro. Please<br />
note it is the responsibility of<br />
the end-user to ensure their<br />
University is protected by a<br />
campus agreement and to<br />
specifically request this type<br />
of installation.<br />
Image Preinstallation<br />
For requirements over 25<br />
units, <strong>RM</strong> Education offers<br />
a free-of-charge disk Image<br />
deployment service. (Please<br />
note there is a small manual<br />
handling<br />
charge that will be added,<br />
but <strong>RM</strong> is providing the<br />
image deployment service<br />
free of<br />
charge).To qualify for this<br />
service the following is<br />
required:<br />
• The customer provides all<br />
the information requested<br />
by <strong>RM</strong> Education in good<br />
time<br />
• The customer accepts<br />
that the imaging process<br />
will lead to extended<br />
delivery times: typically<br />
an extra three working<br />
weeks (depending on the<br />
<strong>com</strong>plexity of the image)<br />
from receipt of all the<br />
requested information and<br />
a copy of the image<br />
• The customer provides<br />
information on all their<br />
software licensing<br />
agreements and confirms<br />
that the imaging process<br />
will not breach any of<br />
these agreements<br />
• The customer accepts that<br />
some images may require<br />
significant development<br />
work, which it is not<br />
possible to ascertain until<br />
trialling a production build.<br />
Therefore if it is discovered<br />
part way through an<br />
imaging project that<br />
additional development<br />
is required, <strong>RM</strong> Education<br />
(in consultation with the<br />
customer) reserves the<br />
right either to charge for<br />
this work or to supply<br />
systems without the image<br />
• Images requiring<br />
development or<br />
maintenance may incur an<br />
additional fee<br />
• Imaging requirements<br />
below 25 units will be<br />
agreed dependent on<br />
the engineering resource<br />
availability at <strong>RM</strong> Education,<br />
and will be subject to an<br />
administration fee (based<br />
on <strong>com</strong>plexity of image)<br />
System<br />
Customisation<br />
<strong>RM</strong> Education is able to<br />
offer the following services<br />
for <strong>RM</strong> Education and HP<br />
equipment:<br />
• Custom BIOS Settings<br />
• Asset Tagging – Physical<br />
• Asset Tagging – Electronic<br />
• Third party <strong>com</strong>ponent<br />

<strong>RM</strong>’s Financing Solutions<br />
designed with you…<br />
<strong>RM</strong> Finance is a division of <strong>RM</strong> Education, tasked with providing a tailor-made financing solution to meet purely<br />
education market needs.<br />
Our approach is based on the individual requirements of each educational establishment, to allow them access to the<br />
technology they want, whilst trying to avoid the constraints their budget dictates. All transactions are written on <strong>RM</strong><br />
Education documentation, and we employ a panel of funders to ensure that rates are always under review and subject<br />
to <strong>com</strong>petition. This in turn means that customers will benefit from the most <strong>com</strong>petitive cost of funds.<br />
Rental Agreement<br />
The <strong>RM</strong> Education rental<br />
agreement offers a<br />
flexible approach towards<br />
paying for equipment<br />
and allows you to<br />
maximise the spending<br />
potential associated with<br />
your budget. The rental<br />
profile can be structured<br />
for monthly, quarterly,<br />
termly, half yearly or<br />
annual payments and can<br />
include all IT hardware,<br />
software and related<br />
services supplied not only<br />
by <strong>RM</strong> Education but also<br />
other suppliers. Other<br />
equipment requirements<br />
may also be included.<br />
Operating Lease<br />
Capability<br />
<strong>RM</strong> Education can offer a<br />
residual value-based lease,<br />
which will be <strong>com</strong>pliant<br />
with IAS17/SSAP21, through<br />
an investment in the lease<br />
with a future value of >10%.<br />
Alternatively the residual<br />
value in a lease can be<br />
recovered through a separate<br />
service contract, so that<br />
at the end of the lease the<br />
assets not being refreshed<br />
can continue in use without<br />
charge. This has the benefit<br />
of ensuring a known fixed<br />
cost for budgeting at the<br />
outset, whilst ensuring that<br />
the lease is still off balance<br />
sheet. It also has the added<br />
advantage of identifying the<br />
total cost of use of the assets<br />
at the outset of the contract.<br />
Master Lease Agreement<br />
A Master Lease Agreement<br />
can be used when there is<br />
an intention to procure over<br />
an extended period of time.<br />
<strong>RM</strong> Education can manage<br />
a programme of investment<br />
by securing a credit line<br />
in advance of any lease<br />
agreement being signed.<br />
You would <strong>com</strong>plete a single<br />
Master Lease Agreement,<br />
and then place all future<br />
orders using a Schedule<br />
against the credit line<br />
available. This means that<br />
all Agreements are written<br />
under the same terms and<br />
conditions, and it may be<br />
possible to base the pricing<br />
on the total anticipated<br />
order value, thus securing<br />
best value. This also has the<br />
inbuilt advantage of enabling<br />
identification of cost centre<br />
expenditure for potential<br />
cross-charging.<br />
Sale and Leaseback<br />
If there is an existing useful<br />
life to assets that, for<br />
example, are part of the<br />
transfer to a new managed<br />
service, then it would be<br />
appropriate to consider the<br />
sale and release of cash back<br />
to you for these assets.<br />
Rental Options<br />
We can create a rental<br />
plan structured around<br />
a changing budget.<br />
Additionally we have the<br />
ability to ac<strong>com</strong>modate<br />
circumstances where there<br />
is surplus cash which you<br />
want to carry forward to<br />
cover future obligations. If<br />
you want to proceed with<br />
implementation plans, but<br />
don’t have the full budget<br />
available or are waiting for<br />
a budget allocation to be<br />
made, we can structure a<br />
deferred rental plan that<br />
allows immediate access<br />
to the technology, but with<br />
the first payment made on<br />
an agreed date after the<br />
agreement is activated.<br />
End-of-lease Options<br />
<strong>RM</strong> Education is able to<br />
provide appropriate endof-lease<br />
options, which<br />
can be driven by individual<br />
circumstances or financing<br />
guidelines. Additionally, <strong>RM</strong><br />
Education Lease Agreements<br />
do not have early termination<br />
penalty clauses, should<br />
changing circumstances<br />
force you to decide to<br />
discontinue leasing.<br />
20<br />
Working in partnership with
Warranty and On-site Services<br />
to put your mind at ease<br />
<strong>RM</strong> Education offers a standard warranty on all products, with the length and type of warranty depending<br />
on the product. Further information on the warranties can be found below.<br />
Dead on Arrival<br />
Equipment<br />
If a PC or Monitor incurs a<br />
hardware fault within the<br />
first 30 working days from<br />
shipment, the unit will be<br />
classed as ‘Dead on Arrival’.<br />
The customer must log a<br />
call and <strong>RM</strong> Education will<br />
endeavour to replace the<br />
PC within 5 working days.<br />
The failed unit will also be<br />
collected.<br />
Third Party<br />
Maintainers<br />
<strong>RM</strong> currently has a desktop<br />
maintenance relationship<br />
with a number of other<br />
maintenance providers at<br />
various institutions around<br />
the country. We are willing<br />
to work with any reputable<br />
service provider if it is in the<br />
best interest of the customer<br />
and providing service levels<br />
can be maintained.<br />
On-site Warranty<br />
Included with all <strong>RM</strong> PC<br />
hardware is a 13 month<br />
on-site warranty<br />
(upgradeable to five years)<br />
and a three year swap-out<br />
warranty on all monitors.<br />
Once a fault has been<br />
diagnosed and reported, an<br />
engineer will be allocated<br />
to a call. The engineer will<br />
arrive the next working day<br />
for all hardware calls placed<br />
before 4pm. An address will<br />
be taken from the customer<br />
to ensure that the engineer is<br />
sent to the correct location.<br />
For monitor calls, the same<br />
hardware logging process<br />
is followed; <strong>RM</strong> Education<br />
then logs a call with the<br />
monitor maintainer who then<br />
arranges for a replacement<br />
unit to be sent.<br />
Support and<br />
on-site Services<br />
<strong>RM</strong> Education is able to<br />
source fully trained engineers<br />
on request, to assist with<br />
University deployment<br />
and on-site support. The<br />
following options can<br />
be tailored to meet the<br />
individual needs of any<br />
University.<br />
• On-Site Engineer<br />
Provision<br />
<strong>RM</strong> Education currently has<br />
a number of sites where<br />
an on-site engineer forms<br />
an integral part of the<br />
institution’s service delivery<br />
mechanism. We would be<br />
happy to discuss this option<br />
with any NDNA member.<br />
• Managed Services<br />
<strong>RM</strong> Education can provide a<br />
host of wrap-around services<br />
for PC Desktops, to provide<br />
a fully managed service.<br />
This can involve leasing,<br />
deployment and on-site<br />
engineering services from<br />
<strong>RM</strong> Education. We would be<br />
happy to discuss this option<br />
with any NDNA member.<br />
Included with all HP PCs and<br />
Notebooks is a three year<br />
Next Business Day on-site<br />
warranty (upgradeable to five<br />
years) and a three year swapout<br />
warranty on all monitors.<br />
Once a fault has been<br />
diagnosed and reported, an<br />
engineer will be allocated<br />
to a call. The engineer will<br />
arrive the next working day<br />
for all hardware calls placed<br />
before 4pm. An address will<br />
be taken from the customer<br />
to ensure that the engineer is<br />
sent to the correct location.<br />
For monitor calls, the same<br />
hardware logging process is<br />
followed.<br />

to suit you…<br />
If you require technical assistance for an <strong>RM</strong> or HP machine<br />
purchased from <strong>RM</strong>, you have a choice of three options.<br />
Telephone:<br />
Hardware fault calls are usually reported by phoning the dedicated HE Support Team at<br />
<strong>RM</strong>’s Call Management Centre in Milton Park, Oxfordshire. <strong>RM</strong> operates a sophisticated call<br />
management system, based on a single corporate database. This system checks service<br />
access details and provides the <strong>com</strong>plete range of call management facilities, including task<br />
management, escalation and engineer scheduling. The system tracks the call from inception<br />
to closure, ensuring that service levels are achieved. It also enables any member of a Support<br />
Team to view a customer’s fault report, without the need for the customer to repeat any<br />
details. The HE telephone lines are open from 8.30am to 5pm, Monday to Thursday and<br />
8.30am to 4.15pm Friday. Personnel educated to degree level, who also have Microsoft<br />
accreditation, will typically man this line. The number to call is 0800 019 7908.<br />
