Abstract

Information technology buyers now have a very wide range of equipment from which to choose. However, it can be argued that purchasing decisions about hardware are actually becoming easier, as, apart from the Macintosh, PC products are homogenized.

Abstract

The most important aspect of purchasing hardware is ensuring that adequate support will be available from the supplier. For smaller companies unable to employ their own information technology staff, it may be necessary to use a local reseller. For larger companies, there may be benefits from going directly to the manufacturer. When choosing a hardware supplier, it is vital to obtain as much information as possible about the potential supplier's relevant experience.
