Diogenes Analytical Laboratories Gains GSA Listing

(PRWEB) February 21, 2005

Diogenes Analytical Laboratories, Inc., a leading provider of vendor independent and lab-tested computer storage product evaluations, today announced that its products and services can be procured via Government Service Administration (GSA) schedules.

The company’s products and services help government procurement specialists to significantly reduce the procurement time for computer storage software and hardware products, while assuring the best product at the lowest possible price.

In addition to written product evaluations, the company provides RFP development and review services, price negotiation assistance and TCO/ROI analysis. A listing of the company’s capabilities and free executive summaries of its reports may be viewed on Diogenes’ website at http://www.diogeneslab.com.

Diogenes’ GSA listing was made in association with Consolidated Networks Corporation of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Consolidated Networks is a highly respected government contractor experienced in infrastructure design, development and integration. “Government procurement regulations are rigorous, requiring absolute fairness in the process of getting the best price for the taxpayer’s dollar. However, comparing computer storage products can be very time consuming and expensive to conduct in-house. Diogenes provides unimpeachable objectivity in its product comparisons and evaluations, at a fraction of the time and cost of in-house comparisons. Moreover, storage hardware prices can change rapidly, and Diogenes can give procurement officials the best current “street price” to assist in bottom-line negotiations,” said Tony Remedios, President and Managing Partner of Consolidated Networks.

Diogenes’ products and services are available through Consolidated Network’s schedule 70 under NAIC codes 541611, 541380, and 541519.

In addition to Consolidated Networks, Diogenes chose Wancomm Technologies, Inc., of San Antonio, Texas to represent its products to government agencies. “Addressing the government market requires experience, knowledge and credibility. Wancomm has these qualities, and we are very pleased to be associated with them,” said Phil Goodwin, president of Diogenes.

Larry Taraskiewicz, president of Wancomm added, “Diogenes offers a unique value to technology buyers. Whereas most white papers and product summaries are funded by the vendor, Diogenes is totally independent. Readers of Diogenes’ product reviews and Buyer’s Guides can be certain of total objectivity.”
