I went into this project a bit skeptical that we would save enough money to make the effort worthwhile. I couldn't have been more wrong. We're saving close to 50% of our yearly charges as a result of the efforts of Berlin Pacific. This project has made me a hero with our CFO. I would not hesitate to use Berlin Pacific again on similar projects or to refer them to any company looking for significant savings.

-M. McConnell, CIO American Nursing Services

What’s the opportunity?

It's simple - lower costs, higher profits. If you could cut a top expense 20-50% and add that profit to your bottom line, would you? What if you didn’t have to do any work?

Chances are your IT support and maintenance contracts with OEMs like Sun, Cisco, Dell, HP, IBM, EMC, etc. are costing you a lot more than they have to. This is money you can’t spend on new projects.

Fact: Most of our clients realize a 20-50% savings.

Fact: IT support and maintenance contracts are very profitable for OEMs like Oracle, Sun, Dell, HP, Cisco, etc. They’re as much as 90% profit.
