Make informed purchasing decisions
Our new service Simms Foresight aims to help you make better informed decisions around buying product like the Kingston DC450R and other DRAM/NAND technology.
DRAM and NAND are commodities, which are part of an up-and-down market with a tonne of variables and external factors controlling price from one-day-to-another. Such up-and-down nature relating to supply and cost can lead to some highly painful factors including reduced profitability, unexpected delays and mission-critical deadlines being missed. Worst of all, customer relationships can be seriously damaged in an instance by events which are seemingly out of your control.
Simms Forsight brings customers market updates, regular outlook and exclusive views backed up by aggregated data from world-class sources and our 30 years + experience.
