20 Delivery Strategy Vendor delivers equipment to the school. The School receives the equipment and the delivery list The School checks the equipment and signs for receipt, affixing school stamp The School records and differences, damages and/or malfunctioning equipment. The school secures the equipment and adds the assets to its inventory e-LJam to verify receipt.

21 Delivery Strategy The Principal to ensure that the right person receives and signs-off delivery

22 Testing and Signoff E-Ljam to provide guide for testing and signing off the equipment. Do not allow the vendor to rush and bypass any of the tests. Signing off by the schools means that the school is satisfied that the equipment is in good condition and functioning properly

23 Testing and Signoff For equipment that has to be installed, the school will be required to provide location for mounting and power. Ensure location is safe from weather, electrical hazards, theft or inappropriate play. Again equipment has to be tested and installation signed off on

24 Testing and Signoff The Principal to ensure that the right person tests and signs-off delivery and installation

25 Warranty and support Issues with equipment should be reported as soon as possible to the vendor and logged on the helpdesk system. Schools need to monitor and follow-up on resolution and escalate if necessary. Warranty does not deal with damage or loss (accidental or otherwise)

26 Security and safety The schools are responsible for safeguarding the assets. Proper use and storage are key for safeguarding the equipment Schools will be accountable for all the equipment at all times. Safety and security procedures and their effectiveness should be reviewed frequently and updated if necessary.

27 Handover The proceeds of the projects will be legally handed over to the Education System shortly after delivery. The equipment should be treated as your equipment from day one. “YOUR BABY !”

28 Risks The school needs to constantly access any risk to the technology and take action to mitigate against these risks. The Students, parents and community should be your partners in protecting the technology against risks. “YOUR BABY !”
