If January 2010 is anything to go by, it is going to be important for everyone to plan well ahead for any hardware purchases for their organisations this year.

Most manufacturers are struggling to keep up with demand in their production. When the GFC hit the first thing to get put on hold was the upgrade of IT infrastructure, we are seeing that people can no longer put off doing their upgrades and this is putting massive pressure on resources.

If you are thinking about purchasing new hardware, let us know well in advance, so you are not caught out waiting for your deliveries and we can plan to have people ready to assist.

If you are already having issues, let us know and we will see what can be done to ease the pain.

With 2009 drawing to a close we would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our customers for their support throughout the year. We encourage you to spend the holidays with family and friends and look forward to a great year in 2010.

If you anyone requires some of our time to help with planning in 2010, please book now to secure an appointment. If you have any orders that need to be fulfilled by a particular date, please let us know, as deliveries need to be planned well ahead at this time of year and product availability needs to be checked daily.

For anyone that is not aware BES will be closed from 5.00pm on the 23rd of December, re-opening 8.30am on the 6th of January 2010 with no orders being processed during this period, we are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

Thank you again, and happy holidays.
