What are the factors that influence the purchase of business computers? [Procurement and supply issues]

It is these factors also make the PC procurement in the process of enterprise information technology construction has become the most easily ignored link, its sequelae will often be exposed in the later operation process, such as the high cost of maintenance, not conducive to the management, due to the security of the leakage of events, etc. Once this time, these PCs for the information system has become a veritable chicken ribs, whether for the problem of one by one upgrade or a complete renewal of the replacement. Once to this time, these PC for the enterprise information system has become a veritable chicken ribs, whether for the problem of one by one upgrade or a complete replacement for the enterprise will produce high costs. These problems can be effectively avoided in the preliminary procurement? The answer is yes! Here we come together to discuss the PC procurement process of several major factors for the impact of enterprise information technology construction, I hope to give you some help in enterprise IT procurement. Concerned about the price, but avoid the pursuit of low prices According to PConline, a survey data show that business users in the PC procurement is still the most concerned about the price of the factors, but in the actual procurement process is the biggest taboo in the pursuit of low prices. Many enterprises in the PC procurement cost control has strict requirements, always hope to be able to buy cheap and beautiful products, but in the actual procurement process is often favored by the cheap and ignored the beauty. How can we avoid such a situation? This requires enterprises in the procurement of their existing needs and future development goals before a simple prediction. The development of science and technology is changing rapidly, now seems to have enough PC products are likely to be with the rapid updating of application software and in a very short period of time into the end of the product. Therefore, the enterprise procurement planners should abandon the concept of good enough to use, the performance of PC products positioned slightly higher than the current demand, so that the input-output ratio of PC products can be further increased. Price diving is not necessarily a pie, more traps Zhang Chao is a small architectural engineering company's network administrator, in 2006, the design department of the PC procurement, Zhang Chao's professionalism for the company's final purchasing decisions played a great role. In line with the principle of good enough to use, Zhang Chao to the procurement department manager recommended a cheaper than the mainstream market at the time of the machine more than two hundred dollars of a PC product, this move was recognized by the company leadership at the time. But just less than a year later, Zhang Chao on the more than 20 computers frequently upgraded work but let him regret that he did not recommend a higher performance of some of the products. In the final costing, the cost of upgrading is more than three times the 5,000 yuan saved by purchasing computers at that time. Stability abdicate, easy to manage the surface In a few years ago in the enterprise PC procurement, we heard the most is not the price but compatibility and stability. But in the current environment of convergence, as long as it is a regular PC manufacturers of products, its stability is no longer a cause for concern, blue screen and the state of the dead is also increasingly rare, but the PC's manageability has become a new topic of concern for IT managers.　　For non-IT industry for traditional enterprises, the lack of IT managers has been an indisputable fact, a person to serve the whole department or even the whole company in a few cases. But through PConline's another survey data show that IT maintenance staff work more than 50% of the time are dealing with the staff misuse or unfamiliar with the computer and the problems arising. Therefore, how to quickly solve such non-technical problems and put more time into more valuable work has become a more concerned issue for enterprise IT maintenance staff in the procurement decision-making process.　　In terms of easy management of PC networking, we have had a lot of case reports, Intel's vPro Borealis technology is a very good program. If the enterprise chooses to have vPro technology PC, the IT maintenance personnel will not have to visit the service, through the remote management function will be able to complete the PC's system upgrades to fill in the gaps, check and kill viruses, asset statistics, and even in the case of complete paralysis of the PC system can still be remotely restored to the operating system The State Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine Information Center in the use of the Boree technology has been given a high degree of evaluation, both in terms of time and manpower to improve efficiency. The AQSIQ Information Center has highly praised Borealis technology for improving efficiency in terms of both time and manpower. With the maturity of the technology and the price of IT products down, small and medium-sized enterprises have more and more started to choose this kind of PC with remote management services, if the ratio of IT operation and maintenance personnel and employees in your organization is higher than 1:20, then choose this kind of products will greatly improve the overall efficiency of the company. Security has become a must-have option for some companies Last year's Chan incident made the word PC security has been re-emphasized, in today's information age, to protect the security of information assets is critical to the development and growth of the enterprise. For individuals, an insecure PC may affect one's privacy and reputation, but for organizations, security is directly related to the survival of the business.　　As PCs accessing the Internet or even LANs are under increasing threats, incidents of intrusion and damage to corporate IT systems are happening all the time. Once negligence in defense, it is likely that a very small loophole and will be completely exposed to the naked enterprise confidential information. Even for the information data is not too sensitive to the company, malicious intrusion will also affect the company's office efficiency. As a result, more and more companies are putting security on their PC purchasing agenda. But the new question comes again, what kind of PC can be considered safe PC, security and what are the main aspects of the embodiment?　　In fact, these questions are very easy to answer, enterprises in the PC procurement does not have to be the security of the three words to be scared, but also according to their own needs to customize their own security programs. For example, do not want employees to arbitrarily use the USB flash drive and mobile hard disk equipment, that can be purchased through technical means to limit the use of the interface of the PC; if you do not want employees to arbitrarily use other people's computers, then the choice of products with a PC key; if you are just worried about the virus invasion and system crash, the choice of a key with a one-key antivirus and one-key recovery system function of the PC can be satisfied and so on. Therefore, security for different enterprises have different definitions, in the purchase of products, as long as it can solve their own worries about the product we can call it a safe PC. energy saving and environmental protection has emerged in the price and ease of use and security, in recent years, vigorously advocate the green for many purchasers is still in a conceptual stage, the use of biodegradable packaging materials and mercury-free accessories, etc. for the procurement of its significance to the leadership of the purchaser. For the procurement of its significance is not deep enough to understand, but the reduction of energy consumption can not help but be emphasized by the purchaser.　　In daily household use, the power consumption of a single PC accounts for a very small percentage of a family's daily expenses, but in the enterprise, often dozens of hundreds of computers running for long periods of time the power consumption accounts for a large part of the operating costs of the enterprise. In addition, commercial electricity prices are also different from the expensive residential electricity, in the economic crisis sweeping the world today, many companies even by reducing the number of lighting tubes to save electricity. According to a study of nearly 1,400 small and medium-sized businesses, energy costs have been the largest cost-increasing factor over the past two years, even surpassing investments in healthcare, payroll, rent and equipment. As a result, the energy efficiency of PC products, which are used in a high percentage of business operations, is one of the most important factors. Therefore, purchasers can easily keep this in mind by taking a closer look
