In 2005, IBM, the world's largest IT company, donated an Integrated Facility for Linux (IFL) for the campus zSeries 890 eServer and supporting software valued at $7.5 million, to the Walton College for its use in its cutting-edge Enterprise Curriculum. In April, 2007 IBM loaned, for five years, a fully configured zSeries z900 to the Walton College to support the campus Enterprise Curriculum.  The 5-year value of the loan package of hardware/software exceeded $25 million. Many Information Systems faculty are active members of IBM's Academic Initiative. This initiative helps faculty and researchers at the Walton College use and implement the latest technology into curriculum and research.

In 2005, a grant from Teradata provided a parallel computer system that gives students hands-on experience with data warehousing technology, a critical component of today's large businesses. The grant, valued in excess of $7 million, includes an Teradata 5251 computer system with 32 gigabytes of memory, 5.4 terabytes of storage, and 32 parallel processors. Students get real-world experience while working with datasets containing over 1 billion records that were donated by local corporate partners. The Walton College is also a member of the Teradata University Network (TUN), a group dedicated to being the premier academic resource for knowledge about data warehousing, decision support systems, business intelligence, and databases. Also, the Walton College Enterprise Computing systems serve as a host to TUN members for access to its large-scale, real-world databases.

In 2006 Microsoft joined with Walton College to establish a consortium of universities to share instructional materials and resources to further education and research. Microsoft has gifted the Walton College with MS SQL Server 2005 Management Studio that has upgraded to MS SQL Server 2008 and Business Intelligence Development Studio along with MS Visual Studio Team Systems, MS Visual Student.NET 2005, analysis & design/project development software, and data warehousing software all valued at $4.5 million. Using these tools students will have access to real-world datasets donated by Walton College's corporate partners. Through the Microsoft Enterprise Consortium, member universities and students will have access to these large, real-world datasets through MS SQL Server 2008.

As a member of the SAP University Alliance, the Walton College provides students hands-on training in the enterprise resource planning (ERP) software that runs businesses today. Through this alliance, SAP, the current market leader in ERP software, donated its R/3 software, valued at $7.2 million, to the Walton College for use in the curriculum. Almost all of the Fortune 100 companies use some form of ERP software and 59 of those 100 companies use SAP. Tyson Foods, Inc. also provides an annual gift for the hardware, faculty training, and personnel required to support this portion of the curriculum. Recently, the Walton College Enterprise computing system was designated as a "large system warehouse hub" for SAP University Alliance members.
