Product Acquisition

The acquisition of IT hardware and IT services through individual product research can actually increase project costs and decrease the likelihood of finding the best suppliers/vendors. In a competitive bid approach, it broadly invites many firms to bid in an attempt to establish fairness and transparency and achieve the lowest price possible. Unfortunately, this typically introduces compatibility issues, scheduling conflicts and lead-times that don't match planned implementation schedules. See our detailed design strategy HERE .

The use of a single vendor for IT resources has significant advantages. Standardization allows you to work with fewer vendors, leveraging hardware, maintenance and licensing costs. Streamlining your IT infrastructure can simplify decision-making, and minimize purchasing and costly maintenance contracts. This process of standardizing itself can be complicated to navigate. IT Standardization is a strategy for minimizing IT costs within an organization by keeping hardware as consistent as possible and reducing the number of tools you have that address the same basic need. Standardization often goes hand in hand with centralization, the process of giving your IT department more control over purchases of hardware and services. Our solution significantly reduces the cost of integrating multiple technologies by reducing middleware, and makes it easier to predict hardware refresh cycles. By having a single point-of-contact for all IT assets and services, your organization will see the savings almost immediately. Want to see how? Call us or use our Contact Us page.
