vendor for what? I have several vendors that I use on a regular basis, but they are all for different things.
CDW - hardware, just about anything really
Quest Systems - big iron stuff, Cisco, Fortigate, SSIM, monitoring stuff
S3 - SSIM, professional services
Q1 Labs - SIM, monitoring software
Some others:
Dell - laptops/desktops
Sun - servers/workstations
IBM - servers/iSeries stuff
Sometimes it pays to go direct with manufacturers vs going through a vendor... depends on your size and requirements really.
I also deal with a bunch of other vendors that are much more specific in what they provide.
***EDITED TO PROVIDE MORE DETAILS***
right now it's for laptops
Well for laptops we went direct with Dell. We shopped it around a bit, and CDW came close with IBM/Lenovo but we finally went with Dell for our laptops.
For our IBM Thinkpads we used NexInnovations unfortunately they also provided us our Compaq desktops.....(full of 3rd party crap I might add) but it's a National contract so were stuck with them... :rolleyes:
LV4 you having any issues with bad hard drives on the dells? Our company is getting alot of bad hard drives from Dell. These are nice machines but the hard drives are crap.
