Most refurbished products are mature, practical and functional. Although they may not be the most recently released “cutting edge” technology products, many manufacturers are still producing and selling them. Refurbished products are at least one to two years old, and probably previously owned.
Many companies have been misled and are reluctant to install refurbished products because of the stigma of being “used” or “second-hand” equipment, and possibly not being supported by the manufacturer. It has been our experience that many utility companies, manufacturers, financial institutions, and research firms have discovered that “refurbished” does not mean “inferior” in any way. These products are as good as the original new ones, and have the advantage of having been previously “broken in”.
Refurbished products purchased from the original manufacturer and third party vendors are sources of like-new, high-quality, and supported products. Many of these products have a 90-day warranty. The original manufacturers offer more recent products at approximately twenty-five percent discounts, while third party vendors, such as Millennium Business Systems, offer the same products at considerably larger discounts.
