Managing the IT Purchasing Process

IT procurement or purchasing can be a daunting task, even for the trained administrator. Often times, specifications can be hard to match up to requirements and preconfigured hardware and software packages don’t always meet your needs.

It’s important to remember a couple of things when searching for a vendor to source your hardware and software products.

  1. Whether you buy directly from the manufacturer or from a reseller, the hardware inside the box is basically all the same – Sure the hard drive manufacturer may be different, or the monitor may be a different brand, but in the world of hardware especially, processors, memory, etc are all comparable.
  2. Support and customer service are what you are truly buying – The likelihood that what you are buying today will be the only IT purchase you will ever make is zero. In today’s world and more so in tomorrow’s, we are only going to increase our technology footprint. Establishing a true relationship with a company who will support you today and moving forward is worth a couple of dollars. Don’t you think?

It’s important to remember that the choices you make today in your IT sourcing will most likely have an impression one way or another for years to come.
