Pure IT Works With Calgary Businesses To Assist Them With IT Hardware & Computer Software Procurement
When planning on procuring new software or hardware, you’re considering spending a significant amount of money. As such, you’ll want to ensure that the technology you invest in is right for your business and within your budget constraints.
Procuring new software and hardware can be complex, tedious, time-consuming, and costly. This post will walk you through how Pure IT’s tech specialists can relieve you of that burden. We will assess your current IT infrastructure, then tailor software and hardware procurement strategies to help you acquire the best IT infrastructure for your business.
First, I will provide a brief overview of hardware and software procurement.
What Is IT Hardware Procurement?
Regarding hardware, your IT procurement effort may focus on replacing outdated or aging laptops and/or workstations, printers, routers, mobile devices, and on-premise servers.
What Is Computer Software Procurement?
Software procurement may include renewing licences for productivity applications such as Adobe Creative Suite, Microsoft Office, etc. Instead of SaaS (Software as a Service) solutions, you may also look to build custom applications.
The hardware and software procurement process must fulfill your operational requirements. They must also follow compliance standards, meet cybersecurity needs, and drive strategic business goals. Without a sound IT procurement strategy, you’ll fail to achieve all your organization’s or business requirements. It would result in a waste of resources, either directly (purchase of inappropriate or unwanted systems) or indirectly (insufficient or underused capacity).
Pure IT Can Help With Hardware and Software Procurement
If you don’t precisely know which IT equipment you need or where to start, Pure IT can help. Here’s how:
1. Finding Tailored Solutions
When acquiring technology, you must ensure it aligns with your organizational needs. Businesses often make technology purchases hoping that the cost value will be worth the trouble of adapting to the equipment. However, the reverse is true; technology should be procured strategically to fit in with and support your business goals. When you engineer workarounds and modify your IT environment or larger workflows, you can have inefficiencies and integration problems.
When you partner with Pure IT, we will help you find the right solutions for your business. Our team will start by assessing your business needs and then identify the correct type of hardware and software that can help you meet those needs and achieve your business goals.
2. Acquisition of IT Equipment With an Eye Toward the Future
Many organizations minimize their capital acquisition costs and make procurement decisions based on short-term needs and upfront price. This can be counterintuitive, given that such organizations must replace this equipment quickly to remain competitive.
Pure IT can help you acquire futuristic IT equipment that gives you the best value for your investment. Instead of you getting quotes from vendors, our IT procurement IT specialists will determine how much it will cost to operate a given technology and when it will eventually be disposed of. By doing this, they’ll help ensure that you choose the most cost-effective option that will pay dividends over its lifespan.
3. Save Time and Cost
Every business needs to have a clearly defined IT procurement plan. This ensures the procurement process is done correctly and within the shortest possible time. A procurement plan can also help prevent maverick spending that may take place outside your process.
When you partner with Pure IT, we can help you develop a sound procurement plan to streamline the process. It will ensure that the process moves swiftly and that you don’t spend outside your budget constraints.
Additionally, we’ll research the latest IT hardware and software to determine which technologies are best suited for your business. By handling your procurement process, we relieve you of that task. Therefore, you’ll have more time to do what you do best: build your business.
4. Configuration Assistance
Computer hardware and software are two components of a computer system. Software needs a hardware device to run; hardware without software is just an expensive piece of metal. Whereas one needs another to function, software and hardware configurations have different abilities and functions. For instance, software mainly deals with hundreds of lines of code to implement a given process, but hardware deals with tangible parts with different functions.
Software and hardware configuration can be challenging, especially when dealing with new equipment. Fortunately, Pure IT can assist you with configuring your IT infrastructure. Our IT infrastructure configuration experts will help you at every stage by providing and configuring all your new IT equipment to ensure your IT system runs seamlessly.
5. Device and Hardware Licensing
Device licensing is how vendors issue and manage their licences so customers can access the software and hardware devices they use. Effective device licensing can boost your business by eliminating the friction in issuing new licences to customers. It makes things easier for customers after procuring IT equipment.
Our team is constantly exploring and testing the latest computer hardware and devices. Our hardware and device licensing service means you’ll never have to worry about keeping your licences up-to-date. We will ensure that your licensing regime always aligns with your requirements. We will procure the relevant software and hardware on your behalf and then maintain an inventory of all the licensing requirements. With Pure IT, your business will have a precise number of device and hardware licenses such that you don’t pay for those licenses you don’t need.
6. Risk Minimization
All asset acquisitions often come with risk, and IT infrastructure is no different. From potential compliance or financial issues to technology that fails to support the company’s needs down the road, hardware and software procurement can be tricky. Pure IT’s procurement specialists work with security and risk mitigation in mind. Some of these practices include:
- Determining if there’s a probability of financial losses
- Performing a complete risk analysis
- Creating a road map, planning for future projects, and implementing measures to minimize the impact of risks.

We will ensure you purchase the most reliable and durable business-grade IT equipment when you partner with Pure IT. Helping you avoid purchasing less reliable consumer-grade equipment means you won’t have to pay runaway expenses because the equipment doesn’t work.
