I assume what this question is asking is what is my strategy for purchase of commodity items? If so, my main strategy curranty is Amazon with a business prime account to get things ASAP.

Sourcing through Web markets like Amazon is very quick. But if you need ongoing service support from experts or experienced partners, consider smaller organisations that are still Microsoft partners. They often can't beat larger organisations for the personal touch. Larger organisations are more likely to swap account managers etc. who aren't always up to speed on your setup or requirements.Senior IT Analyst - data engineering in Real Estate, 1,001 - 5,000 employees
