IT Project delays due to Lead Time?



Massive increases in lead times for IT equipment over the last two years have caused huge delays to businesses with growth initiatives. The supply chain disruption across IT manufacturers has caused major ripple effects for organizations. These delays are affecting:

  • New Office or retail deployment

  • Data center deployment

  • Merger & Acquisition completion

  • Critical Technology refresh

  • New solution deployment

Majority of businesses have experienced at least one of the above over the last two years. But the affects are more than just a delay. There are serious impacts to the business. Does the following sound familiar to you:

  1. You are managing an IT budget.

  2. You place an equipment order

  3. Lead time extensions and delay in shipments of IT infrastructure trigger delays in billing.

  4. Your equipment delays cause project delays to the business

  5. You and business are now evaluating SaaS, IaaS, or cloud platforms to leverage.

There are a number of solutions that help resolve this issue for you and I challenge you to look at some of these alternatives.

  • Short term rentals of servers, storage, and networking equipment (3,6,9, 12 month rentals of equipment until your new hardware arrives)

  • Refurbished equipment to help satisfy your immediate needs

  • Extend support on existing equipment with 3rd Party Maintenance at a reduced cost. Just until your new equipment arrives.

To find out more details on different solutions you can leverage to assist in accomplishing your projects on time or in a more cost effective manner, just reach out.
