Summary of SHI Partners’ COVID-19 Offers

For the past week, most SHI customers have been laser-focused on finding the hardware devices and online collaboration solutions they need to support their remote users. That’s why we pulled together a list of special product offers and trainings from both SHI and our partners that can help you support a geographically-diverse workforce.

From a hardware perspective, SHI’s warehouses and Integration Centers have been working overtime to source and ship thousands of end-user devices to business and government agencies who are working to either slow the spread of COVID-19, or treat those who have fallen ill. If your organization needs help with immediate sourcing of any device or IT equipment, contact me, and let’s work on finding what you need together!

Thanks for your time. We hope you, your family and your community are staying healthy and safe!
