- Q & A ON NEW U.S. EDUCATION PRICING PROGRAM
-
-
- Q: What is the the best price I, as an education customer, can get on
- a PC?
- A: When you call Desktop Direct (1-800-PC-BY-DEC), you will receive
- the most competitive pricing available to education customers for
- PCs.
-
- Q: What is the best price education customers can obtain on
- workstations?
- A: The TEI Desktop Price List will provide you with the most
- competitive pricing for workstations. Call 1-800-DIGITAL to order
- through DECdirect.
-
- Q: Will Digital continue to issue a TEI Desktop Price List?
- A: Yes, the TEI Desktop Price List will continue to provide you with
- the most competitive prices for workstations and workstation
- products.
-
- Q: Now that Digital has repriced all add-ons and options to their
- "street price," do I still receive a 30% discount when ordering
- these products through DECdirect?
- A: All add-ons and options have been "street priced" under Digital's
- overall pricing program. These new street prices reflect five to
- 47 percent off the previous list price. Education customers will
- receive a price that is even more competitive.
-
- Q: If Digital's new automated pricing program is designed to give me
- a net "education price," why am I still seeing a discount
- percentage off the list price?
- A: Digital took a first step towards implementing and automating the
- new Education Pricing Program on November 2nd. In a few months,
- when the final phase of automation is completed, you will have
- immediate access to the net education price when ordering through
- DECdirect, DESKtop Direct, and the Electronic Store.
-
- Q: Will the education price reflect previous TEI discounts?
- A: In some cases, the pricing will be less, in others more, and yet
- others the same.
-
- Q: Is TEI going away?
- A: Absolutely NOT. Digital is committed to helping educational
- institutions reduce the cost of information technology ownership
- through its comprehensive suite of TEI programs.
