All new computers and tablets must be purchased through IDS as there are preferred supplier agreements in place with Dell and Apple for desktop and laptop computers.
Flinders University provides a range of licensed software for all staff to access on their work computers.
Most software is available on both Windows and Mac OS X and can be installed at any time from the IDS Support Portal on your computer.
Flinders University has access to JB Hi-Fi’s Solutions online commercial portal. This provides access to ‘commercial customer’ pricing and on-line purchasing rather than a retail environment pricing. The portal will, for most products, provide a discount over the retail pricing. The portal is to be used with your Flinders University Purchasing Card only.
As with all purchasing on behalf of Flinders University, use of the JB Hi-Fi portal should occur in line with Purchase Card Policy, and within local College/Portfolio guidelines. The Portal use is for commercial purposes only and is not for private use. The JB HiFi portal is not exclusive and may not provide the best pricing option in all scenarios, but is provided to provide an appropriate alternative option.
