Rent computers for any event

leave comment 

When I was doing my degree, me and some of my friends used to organize Web Design related classes. This would be conducted in a computer lab at the university. The program was organized by students’ society and the trainers - that is us.

After I graduated from the uni, we wanted to organize such trainings again. But this time we had few problems. Where to get the venue? and the computers?. University wouldn’t allow us to do training anymore, and outside there were no suitable place for us to rent a computer lab.

The Solution

I wish that time ComputerRentals.com was there. Computer Rentals (CRE) is a leading provider of computer and audiovisual rental equipment with service throughout the U.S. and Canada. They provide businesses with short term computer rentals from a few days up to a year.

Why Rent?

In some situations, renting computers is the ideal solution. In my case, buying 20 PCs would be too expensive, and there are not many labs which offers renting services. Here is some more situations when you could rent PCs:

• One-week off-site software training class
• Three-month customer research project
• Trade shows
• Convention or special events
• General session/key note address
• Render Farm project

CRE carries brand name computers such as HP Compaq and Apple. You can also request for a custom build computers, and they will build your machine according to your specifications. CRE can custom build gaming computer rentals for exhibition or validation and testing. If you’re putting together a temporary on-location network or a training classroom, CRE offers computer rental services you need to construct a complete computer network.

Suggestions

CRE operates in US and Canada only. I think if they went global, they could have tapped into international resources. Because in US and Canada, there are many competitors. But in some countries in the world, there is no such service at all. So by introducing such service, they could gain the first mover advantage in some countries.

One way of going global would be, to partner with local IT companies. Just like WesternUnion, WU does its business through local banks in every country.

Note: This is my first sponsored review, I had resisted doing a paid review for a long time. But when CRE approached me through LinkWorth, I knew I could do them a review, since it was related to my field.
