5 Ways To Reduce Your Cisco Spend
With budgets being cut across the board there are ways to reduce the cost of your new network and get the same kit but for less than you might think. Here we have identified ways to help you make the most of your network budget; get the equipment you need without compromising on quality, or service.
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. One type of Cisco kit that is often overlooked is refurbished. It is well known that 99% of hardware failure happens within 48 hours of being installed. So buying refurbished kit means that you have a smaller chance of failure, than new. Plus refurbished Cisco will often have a longer warranty than new!
3. Reduce your maintenance costs – If you shop around you will find that local companies tend to offer a better discount than national companies. Also by choosing the right level of support, do you need same day replacement or will your network be ok till tomorrow?
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.
