What Sets Us Apart

Tired of Your VAR Experience?
Slow response times
Inexperienced team
Poor Account Management

Delivering value isn't a talking point at BDS — it's what our clients experience on every quote, every order, and every interaction. Many of them came to us with the same challenges you may be facing today, and they haven't looked back since.

Sound familiar?

BDS — A True Focus on Value.
Every Client. Every Day.


Tired of: Inexperienced reps who don't know your environment or your industry.
BDS Value: A senior account manager who knows your stack — and stays current on it.

Tired of: A VAR locked into the same handful of solutions — while better, more innovative platforms go unmentioned.
BDS Value: We find the solutions others miss — vetted platforms and applications that make our clients more efficient and deliver measurable ROI on every technology dollar spent.

Tired of: Vague updates, no follow-through, and having to ask twice.
BDS Value: Clear communication at every stage — from quote to delivery, no chasing required.

Tired of: Slow response times when you need an answer now.
BDS Value: Fast turnaround on quotes, questions, and issues.

Tired of: Starting over every time your rep gets reassigned.
BDS Value: One dedicated point of contact who owns your account — no transfers, no resets.

Tired of: Mis-scoped proposals that leave your team scrambling — unnecessary line items requiring additional budget, missing components that delay project go-live and cascade into full schedule disruption, and no clear accountability for either.
BDS Value: Our experienced team scopes every project to your actual requirements — never over-built, never incomplete. Verified configurations, accurate BOMs, and on-time delivery keep your implementation on schedule and on budget, every time.

01
One Point of Contact. Always.

Your dedicated account manager handles everything — sourcing, quoting, delivery, and follow-through. None of the transfers, All of the accountability. No guessing who owns your project.

Backed by a full team. Your account manager leads the relationship and draws on a bench of senior IT specialists across cybersecurity, infrastructure, and procurement whenever the situation calls for it.
02
150+ OEM Partners. No Inventory Agenda.

We're not pushing what we have in stock. Access to 150+ technology partnerships means we find the right fit for your environment — with certified expertise to configure it correctly, fast turnaround from quote to delivery, and a tailored bill of materials that eliminates overbuying and underbuying.

Black Diamond has become our go to for all things IT. I was referred to them a couple years ago for an anti-virus solution and the relationship has grown into something you simply cannot put a price on. As a company we worked with Black Diamond for about 80% of our IT needs and have committed to using them for 100% of needs in 2019 and continue to do so today. I really cannot stress just how valuable of a resource they have become for us as an organization. If you are in need of IT solutions do not look any further, give them a call and you will not be disappointed.
