Below are a few excerpts from the case study: “Step2 Plastics Manufacturer Saves Time and Money with Long-term Cyber Security Partner.”
Better Value vs Larger Vendors
“Petkoff say that he uses eMazzanti because of the value and the savings. ‘If comparing with CDW and all the others, we have been saving more than $4,000 a year with eMazzanti just from being directed towards the correct products and renewals,’ he relates.”
Product Knowledge Saves Time and Leads to Better Usage
“‘It comes down to value and efficiency. Because not having to deal with these other companies, I can spend my time doing other things. I call Carl and he orders what I need because he knows my functions and renewals. So, it saves my time and we’re getting better usage out of the equipment.’”
Cyber Security Maintained
“Cyber security continues to be very important to Step2. ‘That’s why we have engaged more with Carl here in the past month,’ related Petkoff. ‘Our biggest threats are malware and intrusions. Thus, eMazzanti has already set up meetings with WatchGuard to discuss their antivirus products.’”
Part of the Family
“‘It means I have a friend, somebody that cares how our business is using the products. Hence, my loyalty to Carl will be for many, many years,’ Petkoff concludes. ‘Honestly, all partners should look at Carl’s company to get inspiration on how to do this, because a lot of companies out there do not take pride or take the time.’”
