With a strong name behind them and again excellent technical support, they can offer an SME business the right equipment at a price point. We will always look to supply any of our customers at least 2 competing quotes and technology solutions to any request, to make sure that the customer gets best value for the equipment they are buying. |

Dell have over the years been renowned for the cost effectiveness of their equipment. The Servers and PC’s they supply are well targetted for the SME market and provide a very good level of specification. We usually specify for our clients what equipment they should buy from Dell for their project and then let the client buy direct from Dell thus cutting out the middleman (US!). By doing it this way we make sure the client is paying us for our advice and technical skill of installation only. (Again making sure that the Return on Investment for a company comes first) |

Cisco are synonymous with the large enterprise and the wide area, supplying backbone equipment, but they are also very able in designing and manufacturing secure networking products to link up a group of small offices or a number of sites. Although the costs are slightly more than some of the other suppliers in this market (and they are harder to set up!) once the system is in place Cisco equipment is almost bullet proof and their technical support is superb, meaning as a customer you get a Rolls Royce solution. |
