After understanding the urgency and requirements, Cistor proposed an alternative solution: Cisco Refresh. Instead of waiting for new stock, we identified remanufactured hardware that met their needs while maintaining the same high-quality standards, performance and Cisco warranty coverage.
Several factors enabled us to source the equipment faster:
By using Cisco Refresh, we delivered the required hardware in just 14 days, reducing the lead time from 140 days by 90%. This allowed the company to keep their project on track, avoiding costly delays.
Additional benefits:
This successful case study highlights the value of sustainable IT sourcing strategies, particularly in time-sensitive scenarios. The company not only met their project deadline but also reduced costs and minimised their environmental footprint.
