Complete Systems Design offers a unique systems consulting service. While most consulting firms sell equipment (using only brands they are authorized to sell) at a significant mark-up as part of their consultative service, CSD stands out from the rest by offering recommendations on the most reliable products and effective equipment models for your unique solution and encourages bidding from your preferred hardware vendors. CSD will recommend vendors and even use our considerable experience to negotiate better pricing on your company's behalf. By offering our consulting service with no equipment overhead, CSD brings immediate savings for your company to the table. All of the equipment Complete Systems Design selects is cutting-edge technology although we prefer to avoid 'bleeding-edge' technology. Products just released on the market may not have undergone sufficient testing for compatibility with enough combinations of software and hardware to ensure reliable performance in your production environment. By selecting products which have been on the market for a few months, adequate testing has typically been performed, corrections have been made to the product, and you can avoid paying the exorbitant prices typical of 'bleeding-edge' components. Your equipment will be selected using a combination of criteria. Reliability is the first priority; components not adequately tested will not be considered. Performance is another top priority. Your system should be optimal from the beginning; starting out with a product which is less than robust will mean a short life cycle and a more expenses. All equipment eventually becomes obsolete but a good investment should last at least two years and potentially three years. Having the ability to upgrade your equipment is essential. To extend the life cycle of your investment, if you start with quality components, frequently a full replacement is not necessary provided the system can be upgraded for a minimal price. Many manufacturers require their proprietary components for upgrades and frequently charge excessive prices for them. CSD selects brands which allow other manufacturers' components to be used to significantly reduce upgrade expenses and offer a broader selection of upgrade solutions. Achieving the optimal price is important as no solution provides a positive return on investment if it costs more than the company gains by using it. CSD however, will not compromise our work or your company's solution by implementing systems using shoddy, 'cheap' products as they end up costing more money and downtime than quality brands in the long term.
