But now .

Outside office needs new IT hardware. A server.
Management gets a quote .. around $8000. No big deal. But, Management is in US, and office in UK.
I have a good working relationship with the account rep of the provider and ask him to review the requirements and see what my price would be. He gave me a quote for the SAME box – US$ 6200.
Of course, install needs to happen – total cost (travel/hotel) around US$ 850. Request denied, they expect a random person in that office to do it..
