919-348-4912The Hidden Costs of DIY Technology Procurement
Buying hardware and software without expert guidance creates expensive problems that compound over time
Compatibility Nightmares
Purchasing networking equipment, servers, or software licenses without understanding your infrastructure leads to integration failures, performance bottlenecks, and wasted capital. That new Cisco switch doesn't work with your existing network architecture. The software license tier doesn't support your user count. The server hardware can't handle your database workload.
Vendor Management Chaos
Managing multiple vendor relationships, comparing quotes, negotiating pricing, tracking warranties, and coordinating support becomes a full-time job. Without volume purchasing power or established vendor relationships, you pay retail pricing while watching competitors get enterprise discounts.
Overpaying for Licenses
Microsoft volume licensing, Citrix subscriptions, operating system deployments, security software packages each vendor has different licensing models, terms, and pricing tiers. Without expertise navigating these complexities, businesses routinely overpay by 30-50% for software they don't fully utilize.
No Strategic Technology Planning
Reactive purchasing decisions made under pressure lead to mismatched technology stacks, redundant systems, and architectures that don't scale. Your networking equipment can't handle growth. Your backup solution doesn't meet compliance requirements. Your security hardware is already obsolete.

Hardware & Software Procurement FAQs
Common questions about IT technology purchasing and procurement
How much can I save using PTG for hardware and software procurement?
Most clients save 15-40% compared to direct purchasing or retail pricing, with the exact savings depending on purchase size and product category. Our volume purchasing agreements, vendor relationships, and pricing intelligence allow us to negotiate significantly better rates than individual businesses can achieve. Beyond direct cost savings, you also avoid compatibility mistakes, over-licensing, and premature equipment replacement that often cost far more than the initial purchase price.
Are you an authorized reseller for Microsoft, Cisco, and other major brands?
Yes, PTG maintains authorized reseller status with Microsoft, Cisco, Dell, HP, IBM, Citrix, SonicWall, WatchGuard, Linksys, Netgear, and all major technology manufacturers. This means every product we source comes with full manufacturer warranties, official support channels, and genuine licensing. We never source from gray market suppliers or unauthorized distributors, ensuring you receive legitimate products with complete manufacturer backing.
Can you help with Microsoft volume licensing and Office 365 subscriptions?
Absolutely. We specialize in Microsoft licensing optimization, including Enterprise Agreements, Open License programs, CSP subscriptions, Office 365 and Microsoft 365 tenant management, Windows Server and CAL licensing, SQL Server and Exchange licensing, and license compliance preparation. We'll analyze your current licensing, identify optimization opportunities, negotiate renewals, and maintain detailed records to ensure compliance during audits.
Do you only sell hardware and software, or do you provide installation and support?
PTG provides complete lifecycle management, not just product sales. Every procurement includes needs assessment and technical consultation, compatibility verification with existing infrastructure, professional installation and configuration, integration testing and documentation, staff training on new systems, and ongoing support and maintenance. We're accountable for outcomes, not just delivering boxes. Our goal is successful technology deployment that delivers business value.
What brands of networking equipment do you carry?
We source networking equipment from all major manufacturers including Cisco (enterprise routers, switches, firewalls, and wireless), Linksys (small to medium business solutions), Netgear (cost-effective networking for growing companies), Ubiquiti (high-performance wireless and switching), SonicWall (next-generation firewalls), WatchGuard (unified threat management), and Fortinet (enterprise security appliances). We'll recommend the brand and model that best fits your technical requirements and budget, not push a single vendor.
Can you source specialized or hard-to-find technology products?
Yes. Our vendor relationships and distribution network allow us to source virtually any technology product, including legacy hardware for older systems, specialized industrial equipment, international products not commonly available in the US, and pre-configured custom solutions. If you need it and it exists, we can source it. Our procurement team excels at finding solutions for unique requirements.
How do you ensure hardware compatibility with our existing infrastructure?
Before recommending any hardware purchase, our engineers conduct a thorough infrastructure assessment documenting your current network architecture, server environment, software dependencies, and integration requirements. We test compatibility, verify that network equipment will integrate with existing switches and routers, confirm that servers support your operating systems and applications, ensure backup solutions work with your data sources, and validate that security appliances don't create network bottlenecks. Nothing gets ordered until we're confident it will work in your environment.
What happens if there's a problem with purchased equipment?
PTG handles all warranty claims, vendor coordination, and replacement logistics. You contact us, we coordinate with the manufacturer, arrange advanced replacement when available, deploy replacement equipment, and ensure continuity of operations. Our clients never deal directly with vendor support queues or RMA processes. We're your single point of contact for all technology procurement issues.
Do you offer financing or leasing options for large purchases?
Yes, we work with multiple technology financing partners to offer flexible payment options including equipment leasing, deferred payment plans, technology refresh programs, and capital expense to operational expense conversion. These options allow you to deploy needed technology without large upfront capital outlays, while preserving cash flow and maintaining current technology through regular refresh cycles.
How quickly can you source and deploy needed hardware?
For in-stock equipment, we can typically deliver and deploy within 2-5 business days depending on configuration complexity. For custom-configured servers or specialized equipment, lead times range from 1-3 weeks. When you have emergency requirements, our vendor relationships allow us to expedite orders and leverage overnight shipping to minimize downtime. We maintain detailed project timelines and communicate proactively throughout the procurement process.
