xp256 support price hike.
I've just got a new quote and for the same cover it came to ??63000!
On questioning the difference since the last qoute, i was informed that this was due to price restructuring!
I laughed and told them to call me back with a sensible reason and price.
Anybody else had this problem ??

Re: xp256 support price hike.
Buy your support through your local HP VAR.
Support purchased directly from HP is *NEVER* discounted, but the VAR can offer a discount up to ~30% or so.
HTH,
Paul

Re: xp256 support price hike.
It's pretty common for vendors to price you out of old eqipment by rainsing the support costs. However, an almost 8 times increase is ridiculous. They need to take another look at those prices.
Are they discounting the maintenance? I always get a discount on my maintenance from HP. Do not need to go through a VAR.

Re: xp256 support price hike.
But even 50k + is still far too pricey, and in the current economic climate, there clutching at straws if they thing were going to upgrade.

Re: xp256 support price hike.
We have seen this over and over. That does not seem too high of a cost, based on what we get dinged for some of our stuff..
Hope it helps
John

Re: xp256 support price hike.
I can recommend Indecs Group as having proven to be reliable and good in the past.
Bob Brasen @ Indecs Group
also
Lis Perman @ 0121 251 5151
smaller stuff from John @ www.honeycell.com
more quotes the better for negotiation I always find.
cheers
John.
