Dell Computers and the Department of
Information Technology (DoIT) has established an employee discount program that
will benefit CMSD employees, students, and parents who need to purchase
personal computer devices and peripherals. Dell has set up a website for this
purpose. Employees, students, and parents have access to a CMSD catalogue of
recommended systems with district-exclusive pricing. They also have access to other
discounts through the Member Purchase catalogue where they can take advantage
of any current Dell promotions or specials, plus receive an additional
discount. An employee, student, and parent discount will be in addition to any
other available special pricing or offers.
The purchases are not processed through
a school or the district. The equipment
can be shipped to any address. It is understood to be for personal use and not
necessarily for district business. To

New Service Delivery Powered by BMC Software
The Department of Information Technology (DoIT) is changing the way it delivery services to district employees. The new approach will help decrease service delivery time from days to hours. Employees will access an online catalog that contains
a menu of services that can be quickly requested by a simple mouse click. Each technology service within the catalog will have a predefined time limit for a response and resolution from DoIT. The new online catalog system will also provide
such features as 24X7 online self-service, mobile device access, self-help assistance, frequently asked questions, and customer satisfaction surveys, etc.

will be able to download and install these Microsoft products on fifteen (15)
