Outsourcing IT is generally a bad idea for large organisations. I know of some sections of the Australian government (which will remain nameless) which are literally over a barrel as a result of outsourcing their IT.

If there is a defective hardware problem and you want to go through your warranty to get a replacement you have to go through Dell's tech support. Even if your IT staff knows what's wrong you have to go through all the script monkeys steps.Originally posted by Urban Ranger
Sorry, my question wasn't clear. Most companies, even very small ones, have a rudimentary IT support staff to provide technical and user support for employees. So my question is, what corporate users would use Dell's support?

That's true. That seems to be the only case, though.(\__/) 07/07/1937 - Never forget
