2006 Faculty/Staff Edition - Volume 2 > Speed Up Your Software Shopping


Speed Up Your Software Shopping With a P-Card

March 28, 2006

If you're in the market for Acrobat, Dreamweaver, Photoshop, or other popular site-licensed Adobe products, use a University Procurement Card (P-Card) for quick, easy shopping at great discounts! Choose from the full line of Adobe site-licensed software -- including software from Macromedia, recently acquired by Adobe.

Through NUIT's partnership with TRC Solutions, you can use your P-Card (a University-issued MasterCard) at TRC's online store with no need to wait for purchase order approvals. The easy-to-use site, with a familiar "shopping cart" feature, streamlines the process of ordering software licenses, media, and documentation.

Another plus: TRC offers you the choice of purchasing media along with your site license. Having your own software CD in hand eliminates the time-consuming process of downloading software from the NUIT server and makes subsequent installation quick and easy.

Save time and money -- get a P-Card and buy your Adobe software from the TRC online store!

How can I get a P-Card?
The P-Card is a MasterCard issued by JPMorgan Chase and is available through NU's Procurement Card Program. Departments and schools can contact NU Accounting Services regarding participation in the Procurement Card Program.

Where can I buy site-licensed Adobe software?
Be among the faculty and staff taking advantage of deep discounts on Dreamweaver, Photoshop, and many more Adobe products offered by NUIT through TRC Solutions. By dealing directly with TRC, you'll receive your orders more quickly.
