Educational OEM Policy
(Internal Use Only)
COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL - Internal Use Only

Educational OEM’s working with Schools
and Customer Training Departments
 There are a select number of OEM’s that target the educational industry focusing on
educational institutions and customer training departments.
Training work stations that include Rockwell Automation Hardware and Software
 Custom Course and Lab Curriculum
 Value Add Services

 End user customers can only purchase the HW/SW via the OEM on a pre-packaged
workstation. The OEM is extended a fixed resale price for HW and SW. (see next slide)
 Educational institution customers will typically purchase the workstations from the OEM
but will have a choice to purchase SW bundled with the workstation or lease the software
via the Rockwell Automation Educational Support Program.
Lease via Education Support Program requires a separate enrollment via local distributor or
Rockwell Automation sales office.
 SW purchases are usually done when the school has been issued a financial grant.

Educational OEM Pricing Policy
Educational OEM Definition:
Companies that provide training solutions for educational Institutions or end user training departments.
Requirement:
Educational OEM must participate in our OEM/Machine Builder Program to obtain development tools,
technical support, discounts and relationship management.
Educational OEM Pricing Policy:
 1Purchase Option: Accredited Educational Institution Customer **
 1Purchase Option: End User Training Department Customer:
Hardware Purchase Option to any Training Customers:
.25 OEM / .20 DM
.50 OEM / .40 DM
20% off OEM/Book DM
** The Accredited Educational Institution does not need to be a member of the Educational Toolkit Program since an
OEM is not authorized to approve and accept orders for these application requests. It is however recommended that
the Educational Institution sign up through their local distributor/Rockwell Automation office as this is how they would
obtain a TechConnect Contract for software and firmware downloads.
