Technology Donations from Microsoft, Cisco & Symantec Available to Scottish Charities
Scottish charities request product donations from organisations such as Microsoft, Symantec and Cisco through Charity Technology Exchange (CTX).
A wide range of products can be requested as donations including:
- Microsoft Server products (Windows Server, Small Business Server, Sharepoint etc.)
- Microsoft Office 2003 & 2007
- Windows XP and Vista upgrades
- Cisco routers, switches and wireless access points
- Symantec desktop and enterprise anti-virus and firewall products
For full details of all participating donors, including available products and eligibility criteria, visit: www.ctxchange.org/about_ctx/partners.
Charities pay a small administrative fee to cover the costs of running the programme and whilst the administrative fees vary, charities will still make savings of between 92-96% on typical retail prices. In practice, this means that a small charity with say 10 computers, acquire the latest office anti-virus, publishing and server software to equip the organisation for around £200.
