Hardware & Software

Hardware and software that suit your business – delivered fully set up.

We give independent advice, procure on fair terms and hand over devices ready to use at your desk.

How do you find the right hardware for your business?

The right hardware fits your software, the way you work and your budget – not whatever is on offer in the latest brochure. Business devices with a long warranty, standardised models and planned replacement save more over the years than the lowest purchase price.

We bring years of experience with servers, PCs, laptops, printers and scanners. Before we recommend anything new, we check whether targeted adjustments are enough – not every problem needs new hardware. We deliver new devices fully configured and connect them to your network.

In brief

Why business devices rather than consumer devices?

Business devices are designed for a long service life, uniform management and fast service: models stay available for longer, warranties can be extended and spare parts arrive quickly.

That makes support simpler and cheaper. Devices without security updates should no longer run on the company network – read more in our article End of support for Windows 10.

How it works

From your requirements to a ready-to-use workstation

  1. Clarify your needs

    Which programs, what performance, what budget, and by when?

  2. Quote

    You receive a clear quote covering devices, licences and setup.

  3. Preparation

    We prepare the devices, install the programs and transfer your data.

  4. Handover

    We set up the devices, connect them and explain what is new.

Predictable, not surprising

Replace before something fails.

With an overview of the age, warranty and updates of all your devices, we plan replacements in good time and spread the costs over the years – instead of buying expensively and under time pressure in an emergency.

FAQ

Questions about Hardware & Software

Can’t find your question? Call us on +43 1 2266 2260.

How long should a business PC be used?

Typically four to six years, depending on the device and requirements. What matters is that the device still receives security updates and the software runs smoothly. We plan the replacement in good time.

Do we buy the hardware from you or ourselves?

Both are possible. If you buy through us, you receive devices fully set up and supported from a single source. If you buy yourself, we advise you beforehand on which models are suitable.

What happens to the data on old devices?

Before disposal, hard drives are securely erased or destroyed so that no data falls into the wrong hands. This also matters under the GDPR.

Which Microsoft licences do I need?

That depends on whether you use Microsoft 365, traditional Office licences or server licences. We review what you have and recommend the most cost-effective combination that fits.

What should we do with devices that no longer get updates?

Devices without security updates are a risk to the whole network. They should be replaced or, where that is not possible, separated from the rest of the network.

Do you also set up printers and scanners?

Yes. We connect printers and scanners to the network and configure them for your specialist software, for example for scanning test results or case files.
