It’s been a record-breaking year here at Worldwide Supply.
We’d love to tout that our success is due exclusively to the quality of products and our unrivaled customer service (that’s a big part of the equation)–but that’s not all of it:
We can also thank the network hardware OEMs for frustrating long-time customers with continual product phase-outs and pressuring them to upgrade after they abruptly pull the plug on support for existing products.
As a result, the “word is out” and more enterprises are moving up and out to Worldwide Supply for comprehensive 24x7x365 protection of their network systems—including products, system maintenance and repairs.
Best of all, this all comes at a significantly lower cost than working with the OEMs, and far fewer contractual obligations. (Instead of juggling multiple vendor relationships, our clients rely on us as the primary point of contact—alleviating the need to deal with disconnected vendors scattered across the globe.
More comprehensive network protection, better product quality for less money?
Partnering with a third party network system supplier like Worldwide Supply is a no-brainer.
Debunked: The “Five-Year” System Upgrade Myth
Several well-known tech analyst firms recently reported that most network equipment can typically last seven to 10 years–and often even longer. This means your Cisco, Juniper, HP and Dell and other networking equipment is designed to last far longer than the OEM is willing to support it.
“CIOs and IT managers across the globe are pushing back and telling the OEMs they won’t just open their checkbooks and keep upgrading servers, switches and cellular stations unnecessarily,” says Jay VanOrden, CEO, Worldwide Supply. “That’s why we started our company in 2004—to give enterprises the freedom to manage their IT needs without the rug being pulled from under them by the OEMs.”
