As such we only partner with manufacturers such as DELL, ACER, HP Inc, HPE, Lenovo, Microsoft, and Circular Computing all of which have stringent design criteria for energy efficient products. Our Product Managers for each of our vendor partners regularly obtain information with regards to new product specifications and energy usage. These Product Managers make sure that the specification for each product meet our strict energy usage standards. The information is kept within our Quality Management System and document library. This enables both our Sales teams and Technical staff to access this information when required for issue to Contracting Bodies.Covid-19 recovery
