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
  • Increase productivity while decreasing energy use with new eco-friendly Dell Energy Smart products

Available models and sample pricing as of January 11, 2012. Please note that the pricing may change quarterly for new orders only, due to changes in interest rates. All models now run Windows 7.
CROWN L1 and L1A are no longer available. Please click here for information about CROWN systems that are reaching End-of-Lease, and contact ColumbiaDoctors with any questions.

How to Place an Order
  • Order requests must be placed via the Dell Lease Online Form.
  • Most Dell leased computers arrive within approximately 14 business days of a complete order being submitted to CUMC IT, including confirmations and authorizations being received.
    IMPORTANT: The Ultra Small Form Factor models currently have a 25 business day estimated time for arrival
  • 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.
Leased Computer Installation
A separate request must be submitted via the Computer Installation form once the computer has been received, since not all departments who lease computers wish to have installation performed via Dell/CUMC IT.

Billing to Departments
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 yearly on the anniversary of the lease initiation.

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 CUMC IT at the end of the lease term.
  • If computers are lost or damaged, the lessee will be required to pay all fees relating to that loss or damage.
  • If equipment is returned early, the Department is required to pay the total remaining lease amount upon return.
Operating System(s) and Pre-installed Software 
  • Windows 7 is the current operating system available through the CUMC IT Dell Lease program. If you require Windows XP, it can be installed onsite after the leased computer has arrived. This must be requested by scheduling an appointment with CUMC IT via the 5-Help Service Desk. Standard fees for hourly computer support will apply.

Both laptops and desktops have the following software pre-installed.
IMPORTANT: any user login accounts for software programs such as AP Car, IDX etc. are not automatically created, please see the Request an Account or Access page for information on how to request various login accounts.

Recommended Software: PC PhoneHome
PC PhoneHome is security software that can locate a computer by its attempts to go online if you report it lost or stolen. Please see http://cuit.columbia.edu/pc-phonehome/ for more information, including links on downloading and using the program. PhoneHome is free for all Columbia students, faculty and staff on both work and personal computers.

NOTE: PhoneHome is an application which runs silently on the computer, sending information to Brigadoon Security Group (the makers of PhoneHome) whenever a network connection is made. This information is only accessed if the machine is reported stolen. In this case, Brigadoon shares the appropriate information (IP address, time) with law enforcement officials who attempt to recover the machine. CUMC IT does not have access to the information that is collected or sent by the PhoneHome program.
