IT Procurement: Buying the Right Hardware Matters
You are a successful healthcare company looking to upgrade your IT equipment. Great! You’ve made the right choice—especially if what you were using was dated and didn’t serve your long-term technology needs. But as you look into your options, you realize the game has changed considerably from the last time you dove into IT procurement 15 years ago. Yes, you need new equipment, but making the wrong decision could result in non-functioning hardware, incompatible software, wrong applications, and long-term issues.
Thankfully, you and your team don’t have to worry about any of this. After all, that’s what your existing managed IT service provider is for. Beyond the day-to-day technology stuff, they are there to handle the proverbial grocery shopping, too.
Here are three benefits to having an IT partner manage your IT procurement process:
The Right IT Guidance Simplifies IT Equipment Purchasing
- Expertise and Guidance — IT partners have specialized knowledge and experience in identifying the right hardware, providing valuable advice on the best options, and ensuring compatibility and optimal performance.
- Cost Savings — IT partners often have established relationships with hardware vendors, allowing them to negotiate better prices and secure volume discounts. This can result in significant cost savings compared to handling IT procurement independently.
- Streamlined Deployment — An IT partner can handle the entire IT procurement process, from selecting and purchasing the hardware to configuring and deploying it. This ensures that the hardware is set up correctly and efficiently, reducing downtime and allowing your business to focus on its core activities.
Not All IT Decisions Are the Same
Depending on your company’s unique needs, it may not be as simple as running to Best Buy to purchase a single laptop off the shelf. There are many considerations at play from a business perspective, such as how many gigabytes are required and how much RAM you’ll need to successfully run the applications you use daily. And that’s just for starters.
The CMIT Solutions team’s knowledge of solutions and vendors saves you time and money when purchasing desktops, laptops, servers, firewalls, and more. From there, we manage this process from beginning to end: identifying your business needs, presenting multiple purchasing options, negotiating contracts and pricing agreements, and verifying the quality of new hardware and software. When our team handles the setup and configuration of servers, devices, and users on your network, you receive an instant increase in efficiency and overall company security.
Far too many new technology purchases are made haphazardly, hoping the investment and cost will be worth the trouble. IT procurement should meet business goals. That allows new hardware and software to be seamlessly adopted into daily workflows.
