Subject: OT: Rant: Incorrect quotes from vendors

 

<RANT>

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.
