CDW Government LLC Page 1 of 1 October 9, 2017 Association of Educational Purchasing Agencies IFB #018-A Technology Catalog Executive Summary The Association of Educational Purchasing Agencies (AEPA) and CDW Government LLC (CDW•G) have a solid business relationship spanning nearly 15 years. Prior to that, many of the AEPA members worked with our same team through a contract with MicroWarehouse, giving us nearly two decades of experience with this unique and valuable cooperative. During this time, we have strengthened this relationship by promoting AEPA’s mission to cooperatively serve your members by securing multi-state volume purchasing contracts with benefits that are measurable, cost-effective, and continuously exceed your members’ expectations. As a named supplier on the current AEPA technology contract, CDW•G was responsible for nearly $216M in CY 2016―more than 45% of the total contract portfolio volume managed through AEPA. We feel a large part of this success is our mutual understanding of the level of commitment it takes to make a contract successful. CDW•G continues to meet and frequently exceed AEPA’s vendor qualifications in the following ways: Extensive Educational Experience. CDW has been serving customers in education since its founding in 1984. CDW•G, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CDW, was created nearly 20 years ago to focus solely on the needs of public-sector customers including thousands of K-12 institutions. Our K-12 sales force is dedicated to K-12, not intermingled with sellers focusing on state, local, higher education and K-12 combined. We hire former educators to complement our sales training by teaching the values of K-12 alongside the benefits of the technology and creating practical solutions to integrate technology into meaningful curriculum in the classroom. CDW•G offers our customers a team of K-12 Education Strategists who are subject matter experts with years of experience in serving schools and learning communities as teachers and administrators. They help lead Customer Education events as a value-added service to increase awareness and build capacity in the K-12 learning community. Along with our internal teams, these strategists are trained by industry thought leaders in concepts of practical and research-based guidance on learning spaces and their design. In addition to our Education Strategists, our dedicated account teams have access to partnerships with vital industry leaders within Educational Technology, Professional Development and Training, and Collaborative Learning Environment Solutions. If technology in schools is defined by one thing, it’s complexity. And we’ve spent decades simplifying all the complexity for school districts. We take all the diverse technology, all the different components and make it work together seamlessly. We do it better than anyone else, and we’ve been doing it for years. Full Range of IT Solution Products and Services. AEPA’s contract is unique in its offering to member agencies in that our expansive portfolio provides a depth of product and services not often matched by a single manufacturer, resellers, or local vendors. We hold a long list of specializations, certifications, and awards from many of the 1,100 different manufacturers we work with. We also leverage our OEM relationships to gain pricing advantages for our customers. Our industry position affords us opportunity to secure products when there are channel constraints, frequently acquiring stock when no one else can. CDW Government LLC Page 1 of 2 October 9, 2017 Association of Educational Purchasing Agencies IFB #018-A Technology Catalog Strong National Presence. CDW•G serves our customers with 26 locations throughout the US and we continue to grow strategically. We have nationwide recognition, with over 250,000 customers in all areas of the public and private sectors. Additionally, CDW currently ranks #199 on the Fortune 500. Nationwide Distribution Capabilities. CDW•G maintains two strategically located distribution centers with a combined area of nearly one million square feet, each housing more than 100,000 top brand- name products. This allows AEPA Member Agencies to receive their products in an average 3-5 days. Most credit-approved, in-stock orders are shipped same day, with a 99.7% shipment accuracy. Demonstrated Sales Presence. Each AEPA member has a dedicated Account Manager (AM) whose objective is to exceed that member’s expectations. Each AM is backed by large groups of Technology Specialists, Solution Architects, Pre-Sales Engineers, and onsite OEM Representatives, all of whom provide valuable guidance and support. The AM is the first point of contact and will engage additional resources as needed. Our Account Managers are familiar with trends in the education industry that allow them to tailor solutions to each member’s specific challenges and needs. CDW•G Account Executives are resources in market around the country who work in tandem with the dedicated account teams and are available for local demonstrations and support to AEPA members as needed. State of the Art Ordering and Billing Capabilities. AEPA member agencies place their orders in the way that best fits their needs. In addition to telephone, email, chat, and fax, purchasers can utilize their user- friendly, customized websites. Each site provides a plethora of tools, with their own CDW•G Extranet page giving them the ability to create custom reports, manage assets, and retrieve invoices, among many other functionalities. Summary. CDW•G values our partnership with AEPA and we are committed to continuing to grow our combined market share, providing a cost-competitive solution, excellent customer service, and a vast array of technology solutions of the highest quality for members to choose from.
