High Performance Workstations

In this age of innovation and as the productivity drive continues, you need the kit that helps you work smarter, not harder. When it comes to personal computing systems, workstations are in a class of their own, offering unparalleled levels of performance, superior speed and unlimited, expandable productivity and reliability that enables you to work above and beyond your imagination, without any limits.

What’s more, workstations are more affordable than ever. Historically, their power and performance benefits came at a significantly higher price than similarly configured PCs. This often lead many to think twice about whether the trade-off was worth the investment. However today, the cost gap between the two is marginal, with workstation entry price points rivalling those of their desktop counterparts. This means more end-users can experience the productivity and creativity possibilities that a workstation can offer.

Unleash your creativity and experience unmatched performance with workstations from Stone.

Monitors

Organisations build and drive productivity through a number of different methods however, one piece of kit that’s sometimes overlooked is monitors.

Studies state that users working on larger, higher resolution monitors work faster and more efficiently than those using smaller format, low spec screens. Better quality and wider viewing angles reduce eye strain and offer more visual space to see and comprehend data. Essentially, being able to view more at once on a quality screen allows people to gain deeper insights and absorb more information, enabling them to produce better and more focused work, more effectively.

THOROUGH PROCESS

Stay up to date with leading edge IT in one single monthly subscription!

IT Scale is Stone’s Tech-as-a-Service (TaaS) offering, providing organisations with a smart way to build a bespoke IT infrastructure that can scale up or down depending on your changing business conditions or operational needs.

It’s an affordable and scalable approach to IT asset management, allowing you to keep your devices or infrastructure services for as long as you like, with the ability to upgrade them as needed or return them at any point if they no longer in use.

Our monthly subscription cost scales as you expand or reduce your device or infrastructure requirements. There are no three-year budget peaks for upgrades, as IT Scale allows organisations to refresh as they need to.

Device as a Service - Model Benefits

Stone has a number of as a service offerings, having recently launched Device as a Service, as a solution to allow organisations to continue to invest in hardware, without the risk.

Instead, end-user hardware updates are easy to forecast and you

can give your teams the tech they need at a lower, more manageable cost. Removing IT ownership also means that organisations no longer need to worry about lifecycle management and the depreciation of assets. And when upgrades are required, the costs are covered, and you can simply give back the equipment you no longer need. Stone Group is in a unique position to most other ICT resellers as we have
