During tough economic times many companies cut IT budgets and slash hardware spending. But what if your systems are in need of an upgrade? Can your business continue the level of service to customers and employees? Are you giving your competitors the opportunity they have been seeking to grab clients that have been impacted by hardware issues or failures? How can your company afford new technology when business is slow?
Smart companies are maximizing their return on IT spending by investing in secondary market IT equipment. Used and refurbished IT hardware has become a common expenditure for companies who understand the value that these assets provide. Doing more with less money is the new business standard and the very reason why the secondary hardware market offers such an excellent value for companies looking to expand, replace, or maintain critical IT systems.
Dealing with a reputable technology asset re-marketer offers benefits that you can’t get when buying new. From creative solutions such as rental and lease options to custom designed maintenance plans, these companies provide solutions to technology challenges by offering the best piece of equipment for your particular need. Because they represent multiple manufacturers, there is no pressure to sell equipment that doesn’t make sense for your IT infrastructure. Additionally, a few of these companies offer a lifetime warranty on every product they offer. But the best news; purchasing secondary IT hardware can save you up to 40% over buying new.
What’s the catch?
Doing your homework in selecting the right secondary hardware reseller is the key. Working with an unfamiliar equipment provider can cause anxiety unless you are comfortable with their service offerings. Make sure that they are willing to spend the time to get to know your current IT infrastructure. This will help in understanding your technology asset requirements, both near term and in the future. Also, take the time to understand their equipment warranty. Know what is expected of the provider, as well as of your IT team. Finally, speak with the group about support and repair options for your potential purchase and existing systems. You may find it beneficial to work with a group that provides multi-manufacturer maintenance for critical systems support.
For companies trying to find ways to expand their IT infrastructure during trying economic times, purchasing from an asset re-marketer is the right choice. Between the cost savings, product flexibility and personalized service, IT equipment resellers offer creative solutions that traditional retailers can’t match. In fact, in good times and in bad, finding the right secondary market hardware specialist can help you make the most of your IT budget.
