Millgate

Morning guys, I hope you're all well. I thought I'd stick with tradition and run a xmas promo First of all - the prizes!!!! https://www.christmashampersuk.com/shop/christmas-hampers?gclid=CjwKEAiA64uyBRCVmKyT2vuAjzgSJADfINB6nr-V7SqTLdltOQxbehGbdft-3VGtwkSRZEtmDCAsXhoCCiDw_wcB You could win one of 5 xmas hampers from the above link. Hampers will be worth around £100 each and filled with various goodies! Ideal for raffles or to hide under your desk leaving your colleagues wondering why you're slowly getting fatter & your speech is getting worse! HOW TO WIN! Nice and easy this year - we're basing it on toners! For every toner quote you send over to me and my guys, you will receive an entry. Then you'll receive a further 5 entries if you end up placing the order Also, post below so we know who's in! The quotes can be for originals or compatibles, just let us know what you need and we'll do the rest Any questions, let me know *DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE WITH MANAGED PRINT CONTRACTS - I AM OPENING THIS UP TO ANY QUOTES. JUST SEND THE DETAILS ON EMAIL AND WE'LL DO THE REST* Luke

Thanks @fairm010! Hi Andy, We offer our Edugate scheme that sounds like it'd tick all the boxes for you. Feel free to drop me an email or a PM and I'll be happy to help Luke

Yes we do buddy. Feel free to drop me an email and I'll quote you happy! Luke

I know Instar Digital Ltd & to say they were cowboys would be a complement! As with anything, you need to be careful who you choose. As long as you work with the right company, you'll have no problems

One way to avoid the school being stung is to increase the monthly contributions made by the parents by a small amount (eg £1 per month per pupil). That money goes straight to the school so they can use that to cover any missing payments OR ask for a deposit up front

Hey @bclarke, As you may know, we offer a 1:1 scheme. Drop me an email and I'll happily put you in touch with schools who have already done this Luke

Hey there, I don't know if you've seen this thread but it's worth a read http://www.edugeek.net/forums/general-chat/136922-byod-solutions-edugate.html If you have any other questions though, feel free to drop me an email Luke

Hey @DrCheese, The scheme can be tailored to fit any schools needs. It doesnt have to be Apple. That is the most popular choice but we've done schemes for Android and Windows too Feel free to drop me an email and I'll send you more info across. Also, we can come out to see you if you wish? Luke

Hi guys, Random one for you this morning. I had a meeting with one of our partners yesterday who design and build custom apps. They work on any kind of device, any OS and look very good. They were good guys & I know one of them from working at Insight so we got chatting about their customer base and who they deal with etc. I was surprised to heat that 60-70% of his client base were schools! These apps range in price depending on what they do but some can cost £100k! So I was just wondering, with BYOD getting more popular all the time, have you had your own app developed or are you thinking about it? Luke

Hey Rob, If you drop me an email, I'll see if I can find them for you Luke

Yup, we work with Veeam. Feel free to drop me an email or a call and I'll happily help you out Luke

I've been dealing with these guys more and more and not had a problem. Great service so far Luke

Hey Ryan, Feel free to drop me an email. We'll be able to help you out Luke

Will do

Hey superatticman, We can supply all of the above plus more. Big HP & Dell partner. We actually stock a lot of Dell kit these days so we can send it out next day I like to think our service is second to none & hopefully our fellow Edugeekers will vouch for that. Feel free to drop me an email and I'll be happy to help out Luke

Morning guys, I hope you're all well. One of my large corporate clients wants to sell some of the kit they've just replaced.

I can't see why not buddy. Drop me your details and I'll get your AM to give you a call. Either that or I will Yes, we offer leasing too. It's becoming more popular by the min We'll be able to sort something for you Luke

Hey DCUK6, Not had many dealings with those guys so I couldn't say but feel free to drop me an email and I'll happy supply you with quotes etc Luke

Hey Dan, Feel free to drop me an email with your details etc and I'll get one of our MS gurus to give you a buzz Luke

Hi mate, We could recycle these for free for you if you wish but there's no resale value I'm afraid Luke

You can move at anytime. You just need to fill in a "change of reseller form". Nice and simple usually Luke

Hey Andy, As @fiza mentioned, we offer a scheme called Edugate. It's a BYOD scheme where the parentts can pay for the devices over 1, 2 or 3 years. We manage the whole thing via a portal. It's really rather cool. If you drop me a PM/email, I'll send you some more details or we can have a chat Luke

Luckily I backed Coneygree (amongst others) so the balance is looking a lot better now
