The DIS Lease Program helps state agencies reduce the costs of desktop PCs, laptops, printers, or servers. Industry analysts say effective leasing strategies can reduce technology costs by 10 to 15 percent. With the Lease Program, agencies have a cost-effective solution for replacing old or obsolete equipment. This technology replacement strategy helps agencies stay current and meet state technology standards.

Features:

• 48-month terms for equipment with a minimum total value $5,000
• Agencies gain pricing advantages through DIS participation in the Western States Contracting Alliance (WSCA), which negotiates discounts with various manufacturers
• Customers replace large up-front capital payments with predictable monthly expenses
• Warranty service through equipment vendors or manufacturers
• Safe and environmentally friendly disposal practices
• The DIS Lease Program redistributes end-of-lease computers to Washington schools via the Computers for Kids program

To obtain services from DIS, eligible organizations must enter into a Customer Service Agreement (CSA).

Leasing rates are comprised of three factors: the lowered purchase cost of the equipment due to volume discounts, the interest charges DIS must submit to the State Treasurer for Certificate of Participation agreements, and a DIS management fee.
