Technology Procurement

The right technology, sourced and delivered

Most organizations approach tech procurement as a purchasing problem. The better question: Who’s in your corner when the purchase order closes?

Right (8) (1)

You can’t build on the wrong foundation.

Every technology purchase is a decision with consequences that outlast the transaction. Hardware you buy today shapes your options tomorrow. And your vendor relationships determine how much leverage you have when something goes wrong.

 Complete AI lifecycle partnership

CBTS supports the full AI journey — strategy, advisory, deployment, scaling, and 24×7 managed operations. We meet you where you are and stay with you at every stage.

 Infrastructure mastery 

 The compute, network, and storage foundations AI demands aren’t theoretical for us. Three decades of enterprise infrastructure experience means we’ve already solved the problems most organizations are about to encounter.

 Security by design 

 We integrate AI-specific security capabilities from day one — eliminating the primary concern that keeps most organizations from deeper AI adoption.

 Battle-tested at enterprise scale 

 You shouldn’t be the test case. CBTS implements AI in our own operations before we bring it to clients — so what we deliver is proven in production, not piloted on your time and budget. 

“Technology Procurement is often the beginning of a relationship with CBTS. Because we approach every engagement with genuine curiosity, what starts as a transaction frequently grows into something more.”

Your partner across the technology stack

CBTS procures hardware, software, and services across every layer of the modern enterprise.
We offer the expertise to advise on what belongs in your environment plus the relationships to get it there on the best possible terms.

Hardware

Hardware

Servers, storage, networking equipment, end-user devices, and data center infrastructure from leading OEMs — configured and staged before delivery

Software and licensing

Software and licensing

Enterprise software, cloud subscriptions, and licensing agreements, including renewals, true-ups, and optimization to ensure you’re not over- or under-licensed

Services and support

Services and support

Maintenance contracts, extended warranties, and vendor support agreements managed alongside your procurement to ensure continuous coverage

Start from a position of strength.

When you go it alone, you have less leverage than a partner who purchases at scale across hundreds of clients.
That difference shows up in price and roadmap access, as well as how quickly someone picks up the phone when you have a problem.

Frequently asked questions

Why should I buy technology through a reseller instead of directly from the vendor?

Buying through a technology reseller gives you access to partner-level pricing, vendor relationships, and technical expertise that most organizations cannot replicate by purchasing directly.

Individual organizations — even large ones — negotiate from a weaker position than a partner purchasing at scale across hundreds of clients. A reseller like CBTS provides steeper discounts through volume leverage, faster support escalation through executive vendor relationships, vendor-agnostic guidance to ensure you’re choosing the right technology (not just what the vendor recommends), and accountability that extends through deployment. CBTS also offers pre-deployment staging and configuration through its Integration Center, reducing risk and accelerating time to value.

How many technology vendors does CBTS work with?

CBTS works with more than 800 technology makers, OEMs, and software providers.

Our deepest partnerships include Cisco, Microsoft, Palo Alto Networks, AWS, HPE, Nutanix, Pure Storage, IBM, Avaya, Commvault, Zerto, and Oracle, among others. These partnerships include preferred or elite partner status with select vendors, which translates into better pricing, priority support access, and input into vendor roadmap decisions. CBTS’s vendor-agnostic policy ensures these relationships benefit clients rather than driving biased recommendations.

Is CBTS vendor-agnostic for technology procurement?

CBTS is vendor-agnostic by design, meaning technology recommendations are based on what’s right for the client’s environment rather than on vendor preferences or sales incentives.

Despite having partnerships with more than 800 technology providers, CBTS does not have a financial incentive to recommend one platform over another. Every procurement engagement begins with an assessment of the client’s environment, goals, and constraints before a solution is proposed. This independence is a deliberate policy — and it’s one of the primary reasons clients trust CBTS as an advisor rather than treating it as a transactional vendor.

What technology does CBTS procure for clients?

CBTS procures hardware, software, and technology services across the full enterprise stack — including servers, storage, networking equipment, end-user devices, enterprise software, cloud subscriptions, and licensing agreements.

Hardware procurement covers data center infrastructure, network equipment, and end-user computing from leading OEMs including Cisco, HPE, Nutanix, and Pure Storage. Software and licensing includes enterprise platforms, cloud subscriptions, and renewals with true-up management to ensure accurate licensing. CBTS also manages maintenance contracts, extended warranties, and vendor support agreements as part of the procurement lifecycle.

Can CBTS help me figure out which technology to buy, or just process the order?

CBTS provides vendor-agnostic technology guidance as part of its procurement process — it is not a catalog or order processor.

Before recommending a solution, CBTS assesses the client’s environment, goals, and constraints. Its engineers hold 2,300+ certifications across the platforms it represents, meaning procurement recommendations come from real implementation experience. CBTS also brings knowledge of how technology performs in production environments from its Managed Services practice — which makes its procurement guidance more grounded than advice from a pure reseller.
