UNSW preferred vendors

UNSW has selected Dell as our preferred vendor for all Windows-related IT purchases and CompNow for all Apple-related devices. This decision was made to:

Ìý

  • Standardise IT equipment across campus: Ensuring consistency in IT equipment helps streamline support and maintenance processes.
  • Proactive support with Dell Devices: Dell devices come equipped with a built-in Support Assist tool that proactively checks the health of your system’s hardware and software, enabling timely issue resolution.
  • Tailored IT solutions: Dell will work with you to thoroughly understand your IT requirements and recommend business-grade devices that are best suited for your needs.
  • Extended warranty coverage: All Dell products purchased come with an extended warranty, providing additional peace of mind and protection for your investment.
  • Consistency and suitability: Providing computers that meet the specific needs of UNSW staff ensures a consistent user experience across the university.
  • Fit for purpose devices: Devices are selected based on their suitability for use by UNSW staff, ensuring they meet the required standards and functionality.

IT hardware ordering process

  1. Complete the form. Keep a note of your electronic ticket reference number.
  2. The IT team will deliver your device to your chosen location. They can also assist with migrating data from your old device if needed.
  3. Once your device arrives, request assistance from the IT team for setup.

This new process is mandatory for all UNSW Sydney staff and replaces the previous purchasing methods, aiming to reduce costs, standardise user experiences and improve customer support.

The Certified Technology Product Service

UNSW IT will soon be introducing the Certified Technology Product Service. This service provides a list of approved IT hardware and software products, allowing you to easily find, explore, review, and access product information. With the Certified Technology Product Service, you can confidently order products knowing they are approved for use by the University.

We expect the Certified Technology Product Service to be ready for use in November 2024. Stay tuned for more updates!
