How not to buy tech.Im working with a client the other day who decided that it was time to buy some new laptops.So they went online.

Purchased a handful of used laptops.The cheapest they could fine.And had them drop shipped to our office.

The laptops arrived.One was broken.We contacted the client.

They arranged for a return.Meanwhile, were trying to explain to the client that theyve just purchased under-powered-under-sized laptops. How to buy tech.

Contrast this to another client. I receive a phone call from this client. They share with me that they are looking to buy some new laptops.

They would like to make sure that all laptops in their business are standardized going forward.They ask me for what my recommendations are for a business grade laptop. We have a nice discussion.

I sent over our current recommendations for office computing.The laptops are ordered.They arrive.

They are all imaged and set up identically.Deployment of the laptops run smoothly.Dont be a Dyson.

Making business decisions in a vacuum wastes effort, time and money. Having a tech partner helps your business avoid these pitfalls.Doing things right the first time goes along way when youre trying to grow your business.

So next time you think to yourselfIve got a great tech idea!Check yourself before you wreck yourself.
