According to Mark Perry, HP South Africa's SPO Country Manager
These days, IT doesn't just support business; it powers your organisation and gives you your competitive edge. This doesn't mean though that you have to become an IT expert to run your business.
You can make decisions with the confidence of an IT expert if you find the right partner - a partner with the skills and expertise to supplement your own abilities and suit your particular needs.
To make your search for reliable IT advice easier, you should turn to vendors that have reputable, established partner programmes and that offer top-notch IT experts through their partners.
To guarantee your IT investment, choose an IT supplier that is highly trained to design and implement customised IT solutions that fit your business needs. It's important that the partner you choose has broad and deep knowledge and technical know-how coupled with market insight.
As an SME, chances are you have limited full-time IT staff. You should consider vendors that provide services that offer your business time and resources. These services will significantly reduce costs, control operational risks and turn IT into an accelerator of business growth.
Look at companies that offer sales-service specialists with certified expertise to advise you on service issues for servers, storage, networking, desktops, mobile computing, printing and imaging and software. Specialist knowledge is vital and the resulting added value this provides to your business cannot be understated.
Ultimately, you want to get the big picture and gain control. If your business, for example, relies heavily on printing and imaging, simplifying your environment can lower costs further while boosting performance.
When making purchasing decisions you should look for companies that can offer you an office printing specialist with the proven expertise to offer a tailored solution. This solution should include hardware, software and support to improve productivity, increase efficiency and optimise your printing and imaging environment. In addition, you should opt for products, services and supplies that streamline your colour printing and copying while improving quality. This will help you reduce costs and improve your image.
