Use iQuote to spend less time quoting and more time with your customers

[MassimilianoG]

iQuote is an online configuration and quoting tool that HPE reseller Partners can use to help accelerate the sale of in-stock products and solutions with preapproved discounts. Every month, thousands of Partners in more than 60 countries use iQuote to request special pricing for smaller transactional deals involving worldwide and regional product SKUs.

You can use iQuote to accurately configure and quote HPE servers, storage, and networking, along with HPE Small Business Solutions and HPE Pointnext services. iQuote also minimizes channel pre-sales support requirements by allowing users to self-service most technical questions with built-in validation checks and attach recommendations.

For even more convenience, iQuote is available in two different versions: iQuote Universal and iQuote Integrated. Let’s look at the features of each so you can decide which is best for you.

iQuote Universal

iQuote Universal is a free service available worldwide for Channel Partners, customers, and IT consultants. You can simply register for an account online and quickly start using the tool to browse HPE products, access technical information, and build configurations—all without calling pre-sales support. iQuote will show all of the compatible options for each system you select and validate that configuration rules are followed. The system also automatically makes recommendations for Support Services and Windows Server licensing for HPE ProLiant servers.

When you’re finished, you can simply export the configurations to request a quote from your distributor. And iQuote is integrated with the HPE Engage&Grow program, so you will automatically receive your incentive points.

iQuote Integrated

This version of iQuote is integrated into a distributor’s or reseller’s webstore for a truly one-stop-shopping experience for configuration, pricing, and ordering. It brings real-time inventory and personalized, buy-now pricing to the already fast and easy configuration experience. You get everything included in iQuote Universal, but with iQuote Integrated your actual purchase price will be shown automatically along with inventory levels, with no need to request a quote and wait for an answer. When you’re ready to order, you just click a button, and the quote will be sent to the distributor for fulfillment.

When to use the HPE Partner Ready Portal instead

iQuote is designed to accelerate in-stock transactional deals by eliminating the need to request per-deal special pricing from HPE for smaller projects. However, for larger, advanced, and more complex solutions it’s best to use the full suite of configuration, pricing, and quoting tools available at the HPE Partner Ready Portal.

The bottom line: if you're selling HPE products and solutions, iQuote can help you get the job done faster, more accurately, and with maximum benefits to you.
