Even though IT is one of the most important parts of any business, its often the first department to have its budget cut. Seems unfair, especially when IT is responsible for keeping companies in touch with its clients, which is the life blood of all businesses. If you have a smaller budget than you need, read on to find out how you can get Cisco for less than you thought.
1. Make the most of your current kit. If you are upgrading your network you may be able to use your old equipment as trade towards your new kit. If you would like to find out what it’s worth will give you a free, no obligation quote.
2. Use refurbished equipment. All our refurbished kit includes our industry leading 2 year warranty (90 days only from Cisco) and is supplied fully tested and configured to your requirements. Saving you on your starting cost by up to 70% and your time setting up or configuring software. 99% of hardware failures happen within the first 48 hours of being installed.
3. Use specialist support / maintenance for schools, which on average costs 20% less. Your network is important and our support specialists are on hand to help when you require. However we can save you money by providing the right level of support, with either same day or next day parts replacement.
4. If it’s broke – fix it. You may have equipment that has been discarded because it’s stopped working, and never got around to getting it fixed. We offer a no fix – no fee, repair service so you can find out what’s wrong before deciding if it’s worth fixing.
5. WEEE disposals can be free if you look in the right places. There are lots of companies charging to dispose of your old electronic goods in an environmentally friendly way. On the other hand we may be able to dispose of your old equipment for FREE.
Also consider getting quotes from more than one supplier, to make sure you are paying the right amount.
I found Discount Cisco was very competitive.
