Wow. What perfect timing I have!
Check out this great article from Rachael King at BusinessWeek.com (UCLA Grad like me!) about the “NEW RAGE AT WORK: Used, Revamped IT Gear“. Was published this morning at 12:01AM EST.
From my experience, you will see more corporations, large and small, adopting a Refurbished IT strategy as part of their hardware sourcing. IT budgets are being slashed all over corporate America, but CEO’s more than ever realize the “strategic and competitive advantage” technology can bring to their bottom line… especially during a RECESSION (yes, I said the “R” word).
Watch and listen… more and more CIO’s and Directors of IT will be receiving a call from their bosses, bosses, boss asking, “Do we buy refurbished IT gear? If not, why not?” The rule of thumb is over 70% of corporations buy some sort of used or refurbished equipment as a way to save money. My expectation is you will find businesses “running” to refurbished resellers… especially in the next few months as the Elections end and our new President takes office.
Would love to hear your thoughts about Racheal King’s article? Have any questions or comments, let me know.
