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.

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.
