ODC - Technology discounts

For Schools and Organisations

What are Technology discounts?

IBM offers substantial discounts on many hardware and software products for schools and voluntary (not-for-profit) organisations supported by IBM volunteers.

Technology discounts FAQs (see below)

  1. If the voluntary organisation(s) where you are volunteering is interested in purchasing IBM equipment or software they may do so, purchasing it at discounts similar to those available to IBM employees.
  2. Check that the organisation is qualified to apply for a Technology discount under the On Demand Community guidelines and has the required documentation.
  3. Provide the organisation with the Technology discounts URL listed below, which allows them access to the “ready-to-order” pages. Clarify with the organisation that this programme is for qualifying organisations only and that discounts must not be passed to others. Verification of Charity status or Not For Profit status will be validated at the point of sale. In the UK order fulfilment is through the following key distribution partner:
    UK URL: www.ibm.com/uk/pc/ibmepp (password: save4today)
  4. Follow up to find out whether the organisation has placed an order and if they need any further assistance.
