A simpler way to source infrastructure.
Most infrastructure purchases lose time in the same place: repeating the same requirement to several parties, in several formats, and then trying to compare answers that were never written to the same question.
How it works
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| You define the requirement | Configure a server, or describe the requirement in your own words. |
| 46 Systems organizes sourcing | The requirement is normalized and taken to relevant sources. |
| You review quotation options | Responses come back in a comparable format for your decision. |
Sourcing breadth
Requirements can be taken to OEMs, ODMs, distribution, channel partners, integrators and specialized infrastructure providers. The point of that breadth is practical: it lets sourcing follow the requirement rather than forcing every project through one manufacturer's path.
That breadth lets sourcing follow the technical and commercial requirement rather than defaulting every project to one manufacturer or sales path.
What you keep control of
- The specification — it stays yours and stays visible
- The comparison — options are normalized, not pre-selected for you
- The decision — nothing is committed on your behalf
- Your identity — requirements can be taken to market without naming you
When this is worth it
Sourcing help is most useful when the requirement is technical enough that a bad specification produces bad quotations, when several sources need to be approached, or when a team simply does not have the time to run the process. For a single well-understood part from an existing supplier, it may not be.
What we do not do
- Claim authorized or certified partner status we do not hold
- Publish or share your requirement with your name attached by default
- Commit you to a purchase as part of selecting a preferred quotation
- Provide installation or on-site professional services
