HP gave a presentation about new hardware & software.  We discussed the features of Vpro and the DC7700.  Cerritos College has not been happy with the imaging and other software solutions provided with the DC7600, so we discussed some options.  Fatima is no longer going to be our rep, and Kevin Kim was introduced and will be taking over our account.  We discussed making sure the new hardware, which we plan on keeping for 5 years, being compatible with Vista and Office 2007.

 

After discussion, it was recommended by Lee Krichmar and the committee supported the decision that we would support changing our services over to GST E-Systems with the new DC7700.  We used to work with GST when the built our white boxes, and had a very good historical experience with them.  HP supported this decision and GST will review the pricing and at minimum match HP’s pricing.

 

Lee Krichmar will work with Patrick on coordinating the image and details to make this happen before the retirement of the DC7600.

 

The following email was sent by Lee Krichmar on 11/16/06 to notify the team and recruit electronic input.  All positive input from committee members was received.

 

IT Standards Committee:

 

We received the final pricing on the new HP DC7700, which was very nice.   Please review the pricing below.

 

My recommendation is to "drop" the top 3 options and standardize on the 4th PC in this list, which has a Lightscribe DVD burner!  They gave us a very aggressive price on that option, and since our campus will be using these for the next 5 years, I suggest we go with this.  It is a great buy.

 

If you object, please email me ASAP.  Otherwise, I will move forward in publishing this on our web & will work with Purchasing so they are aware of our changes.

 

The demo HP DC7700 computer is in our area now.  If you would like to see and/or test this unit, please contact Mario at x2179.

 

For those of you that missed our last meeting, we made the decision to have GST image our PC's rather than HP from now on.  This will not cost us any additional money, and should be much more efficient.
