IT Infrastructure Agreements
IT Procurement Strategic Sourcing Resources
UC Procurement offers systemwide agreements reflecting deeply discounted prices for IT infrastructure products in five categories: routers and switches, wireless, firewalls, servers, and storage. With these discounts, UC can achieve a projected financial benefit of $16M per year – for up to five years. As more departments leverage these agreements for IT infrastructure spend, the greater the total benefit to UC will be.
Agreement Advantages:
Buying through these new agreements offers significant benefits to UC organizations:
- Low Cost. Purchasing organizations get excellent pricing. If they have high volume, they are also free to try to negotiate deeper discounts.
