In our previous blog, we already discussed the special collaboration with ROC Amsterdam and Flevoland. In addition to this reference, we have more notable collaborations with educational institutions, including the University of Amsterdam (UVA) and Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (HVA).
For this university partnership, we work directly with ICT service providers such as Centralpoint (DUSTIN), Ingram, Reuzado, and Bechtle. Each IT supplier has its own prefix or tag ID (a unique letter for the numbering sequence). With the information from this tag ID, the origin of the equipment is immediately clear to the customer. Additionally, the year of acquisition is included in the numbering to indicate the purchase year.
While this school uses relatively large AssetTags and tag IDs for nearly all equipment (75 x 35 mm), there is one exception. For the so-called thin clients, a smaller design of 45 x 15 mm is used so that the tag ID fits neatly on these small PC cases.
Custom Tag IDs
Together with the university and university of applied sciences, we have developed these custom tag IDs, and we have been supplying them since 2014. Not only has this opportunity led to a successful collaboration, but it has also attracted other universities and universities of applied sciences to us.
