Regarding our
Commercial Catalog:
Alpha Sum features
thousands of products and services that include all types of equipment and
services for the office environment. As
a reseller of office automation equipment, we are engaged with distributors of
major manufacturers offering products, services and support across the entire
spectrum of uses. However, since
technology changes so rapidly and we have so many things we offer, an entire
listing of these items would take up hundreds of pages and updates would have
to be done on a frequent basis. We have
taken the liberty of constructing a category listing featuring manufacturers
and their accompanying products. Upon
request we provide the specific manufacturers, part numbers and descriptions
you might desire in any format desired.
We are currently negotiating with the General Services Administration on
all IT and office environment products and services we expect to offer to every
federal civilian and military agency.
