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 />

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 />

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 />

is also quieter than standard<br />

desktop offerings and reduces<br />

noise disruption.<br />

For every ecoquiet<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 />

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 />
