Simpler, wider and solid. Always delivering best solutions. Very competitive even though Ibm is pretty solid too.

CDW
Chose CDW
CDW is a top-tier partner with most reputable tech companies. This aids in getting the best prices available.
Chose CDW
They are more competitive at some solutions while also lacking in others. Primarily when going against products that solely focus on one area.
Chose CDW
Office Depot and SHI do have great representatives but have found CDW to be very encompassing as far as Information Technology is concerned.
Chose CDW
CDW is still easier to work with than SHI. While CDW has its issues, at least they make an effort to communicate. It has been difficult to even get basic communications out of SHI.
Chose CDW
I would recommend CDW to all customers over their competition.

Accenture is well suited for undertaking projects that are a bit more complex and complicated. Because of their lineup, they are better suited to tackle those projects. Accenture may not be well suited for support on the basis of cost.

CDW is a good place to go for a large selection of competitively-priced goods to purchase directly from their web store, but customer service is still lacking, even after all these years; look at various review sites online. Management appears to still be out of touch, or possibly as high as the executive level?
If CDW doesn't value our business (and we're an SMB, so not a big juicy account that they're sure to court but we do conduct tens of thousands of $ per year range), there are several alternatives. I need to be convinced otherwise as most account reps themselves are great, but that's the end of the line on customer service for u.
