NEED HPE CONFIGURATIONS DELIVERED FASTER?

Are custom CTO orders slowing you down

Offering your customers custom hardware configurations can help you stand out and win business, but it’s a complicated process that takes time to process, order and deliver.

After analysing thousands of custom server and storage CTO orders, we found that over 86% could have been built from the ALSO inventory and delivered in as little as three days.

When you change the way you order from CTO to BTO, ALSO can guarantee significant time savings for both you and your customers –– while still delivering the exact configurations and preferential pricing your customers need.

How do you convert CTO to BTO?

Converting CTO to BTO is simple and can be done using the familiar HPE OCA tool that many of our partners use when building configurations.

After creating your CTO configuration in the HPE OCA tool, use the BTO checker function to find out if your configuration can be built using BTO parts. If your exact configuration isn’t available, the OCA tool will recommend similar BTO configuration for you to consider.

Once you’ve converted your CTO configuration to BTO, simply import it to iQuote in the ALSO webshop to see stock availability and preferential pricing. From there you can save a quote, send it to your customer and, in one click, turn that quote into an order.
