Sorry just wanted to vent.
For some reason it seems that none of the vendors we deal with can get a
quote correct. Not once, never. We primarily deal with Dell, both US and
Canada. We also use HP and have multiple lease vendors. None of them
ever get a quote right the first time. For example if I send them
something like this:
Please give me a quote for (2) PowerEdge 1950 servers with the
following:
(2) Dual Core 3.0GHz Xeon Processors
8GB RAM
(2) 146GB Hard drives (RAID 1)
DRAC 5/I card
(2) Emulex LPe11002-E HBA adapters (A1663181)
Gold Support
NetIQ AppManager
NetIQ AppManager Maintenance
PowerPath licenses
Windows 2003 Server Enterprise
I will get back a quote that might have 4G RAM instead of 8. Or no DRAC
card, or have the wrong quantity of HBA cards. Every time it happens we
bring it to the attention of our account executive and they swear they
will resolve the issue. They don't. Then 2 months later the account
executive is replaced or has moved on and a new one comes on board, or
the person that generates the quotes leaves the company. I would just
love to have a simple quote done correctly the first time.
