Network Equipment Reseller Moves Upmarket To Help Small Businesses

NetworkEquipment.net moves from being a broker's broker to directly assisting small business budgets with Cisco routers, switches, firewalls, wireless and phones.

OKLAHOMA CITY, OK, January 07, 2011

Maxis Technologies, Inc., formally changed its name to NetworkEquipment.net, as of January 1, 2011 to facilitate its move toward selling direct to small and medium sized businesses to save them money by removing links in the network equipment resale chain.
Prior to this focus on direct sales to end users Maxis Technologies, Inc. predominantly sold to other brokers, who in turn sold to end users. By changing its name to NetworkEquipment.net, implementing market segmented contacts, live help on its website, a customer focused blog, and quick response procedures for online request for quotes, NetworkEquipment.net has positioned itself to be a significant player in the customer direct network equipment resale market.
According to Hal Stevens, CEO, "Over the last ten years we have been a go-to source for out-of-channel Cisco resellers. We have blind drop shipped a significant number of Cisco products world wide so the end user believes the product came from another reseller who did not have the product in stock. Research encouraged this move upmarket and pass along greater savings to small and medium sized businesses."
NetworkEquipment.net will continue to be independent of Cisco's authorized reseller program and is not affiliated with Cisco or authorized to sell through Cisco's distribution channels. This gives NetworkEquipment.net huge flexibility to source both new and used products globally at prices below authorized resellers discounts. This also provides NetworkEquipment.net with the ability to sell products that may be on Cisco's delayed or shortage list due to current production problems.
NetworkEquipment.net, is a privately held company, that both buys and sells, out of channel, new and used network hardware, from Cisco Systems, Juniper Networks, Extreme Networks, Brocade Communications Systems, Redback Networks, Force10 Networks, F5 Networks and phone equipment, from Avaya. NetworkEquipment.net operates globally having done business in 88 countries, and on every continent (except Antarctica). To find out more, please visit http://www.NetworkEquipment.net
