IT procurement services cover everything from picking the right laptop to retiring a server that’s too old to trust. For most growing businesses, this work falls on someone who already has a full-time job. Fusion takes it off their plate.

What’s Included in IT Procurement

Hardware Sourcing

We source laptops, desktops, servers, and network gear from Lenovo, Apple, and other trusted vendors. Every device is matched to the real workload, not a sales pitch. It starts with Fusion’s 168-point IT assessment.

Software Licensing

Microsoft 365, Azure, and other licenses managed from purchase to renewal. Zylo’s 2026 SaaS report found 46% of SaaS licenses go unused. We check what you’re paying for, cut what you don’t need, and merge the rest.

Vendor Management

We work with Lenovo, Apple, Fortinet, HPE Aruba, and Microsoft. You get bulk pricing a 30-person firm wouldn’t see on its own. We do the back-and-forth so your team doesn’t have to.

Deployment and Staging

New gear doesn’t go to users out of the box. We set up laptops, desktops, and network devices with your image, security rules, and business apps. Your team gets a ready-to-work device on day one.

Lifecycle Management

We track every asset from day one to end of life. You’ll know when warranties run out and which machines need to be swapped. No more surprise failures on laptops nobody tracked.

Secure Disposal

Old gear is wiped to NIST 800-88 standards and recycled through certified e-waste partners. You get full records. For firms under PIPEDA, this paper trail is required, not optional.

How IT Procurement Works with Fusion

1. Assessment

We map what you have now, write it down, and find the gaps. Every purchase starts with data, not guesswork.

2. Sourcing

We take your specs to our vendor partners, get quotes, and show you the total cost before you buy.

3. Deployment

Gear shows up with your image, security rules, and apps loaded. Software is set up before users touch it.

4. Ongoing Management

We track warranties, flag renewals, and plan refresh cycles. Your vCIO keeps the plan up to date.

Why Fusion for IT Procurement

We already know your setup. IT procurement that’s cut off from daily IT leads to wrong specs and wasted money. Fusion handles your managed IT support and cybersecurity, so we buy based on what we know about your systems.

You get volume pricing without volume. We buy across our full client base. A 30-person company gets prices that are normally held for 300-seat orders. That’s real savings on laptops, firewalls, switches, and licenses.

Security is built into every purchase. Every device ships with endpoint protection, MFA, and drive encryption in line with CIS Controls v8.1. There’s no gap between delivery and protection. That’s how IT procurement should work when your provider also runs your security.

No markup on hardware. We source through authorized Canadian distributors (Ingram Micro, TD Synnex, CDW Canada) and pass the pricing to you. You can check it against distributor quotes at any time. As a Microsoft Solutions Partner, we bring partner-level pricing to every Microsoft purchase.

Who This Is For

Fusion’s IT procurement services are built for Canadian businesses that don’t have a buying team but still need to get IT equipment right. Book a free assessment to find out if you’re a fit. You’re a strong match if:

  • You’ve got 10 to 150 employees and nobody owns hardware purchasing end to end
  • You’re onboarding new staff and they need properly staged devices on day one
  • You’re paying for SaaS tools nobody uses and can’t tell which licenses are active
  • Your equipment is aging and you don’t know what’s due for replacement
  • You want the team that manages your IT to also make the IT purchasing decisions

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s included in IT procurement services?

Needs review, vendor sourcing, price talks, staging, imaging, deployment, asset tracking, refresh planning, and secure disposal. We handle the full process from the first call to end of life.

Which hardware vendors do you work with?

We mainly buy from Lenovo, Apple, Fortinet, HPE Aruba, and Microsoft. These cover most mid-market Canadian businesses. If a different vendor is the right fit, we’ll say so.

How do you handle software licensing?

We check your current licenses, find unused or double-paid ones, and merge where we can. Then we manage renewals going forward. Most businesses we onboard pay for tools nobody uses. We fix that.

Do you mark up hardware prices?

No. Fusion buys through authorized Canadian distributors and passes the pricing to you. Our fee is a flat monthly retainer, not a markup on gear. You can check our pricing against distributor quotes at any time.

What happens to old equipment?

All retired gear is wiped to NIST 800-88 standards, recycled through certified e-waste partners, and logged with a chain-of-custody record. For firms under PIPEDA, this paper trail is required by law.

How does procurement fit into a vCIO engagement?

Your vCIO builds the tech roadmap. Procurement runs against it. That means hardware refreshes, software changes, and new rollouts are planned and budgeted before they happen.

Can you manage Microsoft 365 and Azure license renewals?

Yes. Fusion tracks all software licenses, renewal dates, and usage for managed clients. We flag what’s coming up, spot unused licenses, and handle renewals on your behalf.
