Proven, quality
hardware:
Landau Technologies offer a range of proven hardware products. We try
to match proven, reliable hardware to the clients' needs, avoiding many
problems that arise from poor quality hardware or hardware not match to
either the software or specific network requirements.
Preferred hardware suppliers:
It is important to us that that we only sell products within a
supplier's range of equipment that is well suited to the task at hand and not
just what is cheap or readily available. To ensure reliability and maximum performance for both our metropolitan and
rural clients, particular attention is paid to the warranty regime, strength and
construction of the hardware as well as access to spare parts and
consumables.

Rural and Remote Clients:
We especially look forward to developing more rural clients to complement our
other sites across Queensland as far flung as Jandowae, Townsville, Cairns and
Moura.
Apples and Oranges -
Genuine Comparisons:
|
Landau
Technologies encourages genuine competition. It keeps us relevant and
cost-effective and ensures the best possible solution for our clients. However
from time to time, existing and potential clients may compare quotes and
proposals without a full understanding of the major differences between them.
Here are some of the topics that may be worth having a closer look:
Warranty
Time Frame. How long does the warranty go for. Typically warranties last for
one, two or three years. Naturally the longer the warranty, the more expensive
the hardware will be.
Return-To-Base
versus On-site Warranty. Return-To-Base means that YOU TAKE IT TO THE REPAIR
CENTRE. On-Site means that the Service Agent comes to your business or practice.
On-site incurs costs and therefore is more expensive than Return-To-Base. Our
experience has been that the extra initial costs of On-Site warranty pale into
insignificance compared to the costs of staff labour and additional downtime of
Return-To-Base.

Wireless technology is changing the way we work.
Landau Technologies can ensure that you enjoy the flexibility of
wireless whilst retaining proper security. |

Computer
Specifications - Central Processor Unit. The CPU is the "thinking"
part of the computer. Since July 2003 Landau Technologies only sells Intel
Pentium IV or more powerful Intel CPUs. Our experience has shown that we avoid
any problems with speed, reliability and heat. Unfortunately the Intel CPUs are
also the most expensive. However, again the initial costs of higher performance
and reliability warranty pale into insignificance compared to the costs of staff
labour and additional downtime of Return-To-Base. |
Labour.
Since we started tracking in July 2002 projects lost and won and the reasons
why, we have found a trend to lower total labour costs in projects lost to our
competitors. However closer inspection of these projects lost revealed that the
competitor DID NOT include nor undertake installation, configuration, set-up and
test of the software. We strongly recommend that you seek complete explanation
of all labour tasks detailed within the project proposal and that any task that
your business or practice can not undertake themselves are included within the
proposal. In close to 50% of the projects lost in this fashion, Landau
Technologies have been contracted to come in post-installation and undertake additional
network, software and hardware configuration; thus effectively driving the total
project cost higher.
