Help on Demand LLC, a midrange platform computer company specializing in the secondary market for IBM AS/400/iSeries/System i computers, says that previously owned computers may increase in popularity as the economy cools.
Extending the life of used computing systems by selling them to small and medium businesses ($10 million to $100 million in sales) has proven to be Help on Demand's unique value niche, say company officials.
"We believe used computing equipment will continue to grow as our economy corrects itself," says Ronald Lerma, managing director.
Buying used systems, printers, and tape drives, reconditioning them, then getting them back into the marketplace allows the technology to be recycled, says Larma. The beneficial side effect? "This allows more green initiatives to become a reality," he says. Recycling used computer equipment is quickly becoming a matter of social responsibility as governments and environmentalists point to the dangers to people of improper disposal.
In addition, Help on Demand offers leases on used equipment making the acquisition of even larger systems affordable. "Companies which need hi-technology computing can now conserve their capital by leasing used systems for far less than they would spend buying new," says Lerma.
Help on Demand's collective knowledge and expertise regarding IBM secondary systems comes from more than 20 years in the midrange field. This provides users with the benefit of an expert knowledgebase when it comes to evaluating used systems and leasing programs.
"Helping customers remain competitive while acquiring the latest technology is smart, responsible, and, saves both time and money," says Lerma. To learn more visit http://www.helpondemand.net/.
