Servo has been chosen as a Trusted IT Procurement Partner of leading international travel company First Choice. Servo has already delivered considerable cost and time savings to First Choice, by freeing up staff to concentrate on the core business and negotiating better hardware rates.

As a result of rapid expansion First Choice was juggling multiple vendor relationships for its IT hardware requirements. In addition, the company wanted to be able to standardise its desktops so that they were pre-configured with standard imagery ready for staff use. The company turned to Servo, a company with more than twenty years’ experience in supplying IT products and services to the retail sector.

Using its position as an influential IT provider, Servo has been able to able to fully support First Choice’s policy of standardisation, considerably reduce the unit cost price for First Choice’s desktops and servers. As a Microsoft Gold Infrastructure Partner, Servo also provided added value through consultancy and technical support and due to its advice on Microsoft Select Level licensing, has reduced the total cost of ownership over the life of the agreement.

Commenting on the procurement relationship Carlos Munoz, First Choice Infrastructure Manager, said: “We quickly saw the benefits Servo could provide right across the desktop infrastructure. There was a great advantage for us to have Servo build the desktops, with our standard imagery already configured for our users. Servo has also been very proactive in terms of securing special deals with suppliers.  As our partner of choice, Servo provides us with better service and pricing than alternative suppliers. We derive considerable benefit from its services and look forward to continuing our relationship with Servo.”
