Overview: Managed staff desktop service

The managed staff desktop (CONNECT) is our most popular managed desktop solution. You can choose how much responsibility you want to take for the security and performance of your computer, and we take care of the rest

Expand All

Fully managed We'll look after everything so you can just login and starting working on a secure, reliable and supported system.
Assisted You have administrative access and are ultimately responsible for security and performance, but we'll look after as much or as little as you like.
Hardware only We'll provide you with the equipment, handle any repairs needed, and provide responsible disposal when you don't need it anymore.
Bring your own device (BYOD) Your own device, fully managed by you, can still connect to many of our facilities.

  Reconfiguration of your desktop may prevent aspects of our service from working. We can always refresh your desktop back to a standard image to reinstate services, however you will need to re-apply any customisation that you have made including application installations.

For the Fully Managed, Assisted and Hardware Only packages we can supply from a range of desktops, laptops, tablet/2-in-1/hybrids, all-in-ones and monitors with enhanced warranty and servicing options from the University's preferred supplier.

The range of equipment available changes approximately every twelve months so we will introduce new models and remove older ones that are no longer available.
