A recent survey reveals that 77 percent of IT buyers currently purchase secondary market equipment, and 46 percent expect to increase their spending in that area next year by about 15 percent.

The process begins with the identification of basic needs. Healthcare purchasers need authentic equipment that will arrive promptly, work properly right out of the box and last as long as brand new equipment. With those needs in mind, consider the following points:     Reputation counts . Find an established vendor known for delivering on its promises and building partnerships with its customers. Ask for references. Vendors should thoroughly test all products, conduct necessary refurbishment, include a one-year warranty at a minimum, ensure the products come complete as new and provide a responsive technical support team.

Gartner Group estimates that the secondary market just for networking equipment and accessories has grown from a handful of providers to more than 400 companies with estimated collective annual revenues between $2 and $3 billion. As cost pressures are expected to continue in the healthcare space, capitalizing on this market will become even more important to the development of a successful equipment replacement strategy. Unlike certain software products, hardware such as routers and switches can have a shelf life of 10 to 15 years. Thus, including quality refurbished networking equipment in replacement strategies can meet...

Today’s successful healthcare organizations must also upgrade the operational infrastructure to stay ahead of the competition. Yet the adoption of technology remains one of the top business issues facing healthcare, with the demand for capital not close behind, according to the Healthcare Information Management and Systems Society’s 2007 Leadership Survey of healthcare CIOs. Both issues outranked the decrease in health insurance benefits and even the availability of clinical staff. For healthcare organizations faced with tight margins and tighter budgets, keeping pace with rapidly changing technology can lead to difficult decisions. Not surprisingly, survey respondents cited lack of financial support as the No. 1 barrier to...

However, the primary market is by no means suffering as a result. Some agencies will continue purchasing new equipment due to specific needs and preferences. For other agencies on stricter budgets, procurement officers frequently will continue to turn to the secondary market for IT products that meet their needs.

They want authentic equipment that will function properly right out of the box and last as long as brand-new equipment. So how can purchasers be sure that pre-owned or refurbished equipment is the right choice? While purchasing from the secondary market, keep the following suggestions in mind: Go with reputation. Find an established vendor known for delivering on its promises and establishing partnerships with its customers, and then ask for references. Preferred vendors are those that thoroughly test all products; conduct necessary refurbishment; include – at a minimum – a one-year warranty; ensure the products come complete as new; and have a responsive technical support team. Often these companies also will offer service contracts or sell spare parts at a discounted rate. In addition, the best...

Among these goals: The equipment needs to be available quickly. It needs to come with a warranty , five-star certification and quality assurance. Companies should be on the approved vendor lists that give discounts to government agencies. The equipment should be priced consistently to what the private sector pays for comparable items.

Keeping up with technology and ensuring the operational efficiency of legacy systems are common issues. In addition, agencies at all levels of government face challenges in upgrading support needs due to budget restrictions. To combat these issues, agencies now are turning to the secondary market to buy up-to-date technology at a more favorable price. Depending on the equipment requirements ( switches , routers , phone systems , etc.), spending less on secondary market equipment reduces costs and increases the return on investment, because the same functions can be performed on either refurbished or totally new systems. Procurement officers are charged with finding the best quality product at the...

It’s no different for a government agency with its networking and telecom equipment. However, now there is a cost-effective alternative for budget-conscious procurement officers: pre-owned, refurbished networking and telecom equipment. If purchased from a reputable seller , such products can offer significant savings at a level of quality comparable to that of new equipment. Gartner Group estimates that the secondary market for networking equipment and accessories has grown over the past several years from a handful of providers to more than 400 companies with an estimated collective revenue of $2 billion to $3 billion.
