Problem
Lowest cost or highest confidence?
When Graham Dwyer was starting his firm Realty Plus six years ago, he was faced with a difficult choice. Should he choose the IT provider with the lowest price, or the one that gave him the highest confidence?
Solution
“You get what you pay for”
He ultimately chose IT Partners, though he admits they weren’t the cheapest option. “It’s very tempting to keep the overheads low, but then you hear stories of servers being down for 2 days. In the end, I believe you get what you pay for.”
Result
“IT’s like car insurance. You don’t know how good your provider is ‘til you have a crash.”
With more than $150k now invested in IT, Graham is sure he made the right choice. “IT Partners has managed our IT systems pretty much without a glitch. I could have gambled and gone with the lowest cost option, but I think IT’s like car insurance. You don’t know how good your provider is ‘til you have a crash.”
