Perhaps centralising their UK sales offshore might explain this? No? Yes?

What's the source for "cutting of IT budgets hasn't happened so far"? The reason I ask is that it's not true for every site I've been to in the last two months.

Projects are stopping _because_ of the budgetary constraints that are bigger than usual end of year belt tightening.

Quantum should concentrate on producing the quality kit they used to - their LTO offerings are p155 poor compared to the quality of their SDLT drives and I for one would rather poke needles in my eyes than buy it, particularly given the offshore support that really isn't, as mentioned above....

Took me 8 weeks to get a replacement LTO-4 drive out of them - they didn't have one in Europe at all!!!

High standards and good reputations only last as long as you put effort in to maintain them....

I cancelled an order from Quantum UK because they told my supplier that a shipment had already left the US for the UK but that clearly wasn't the case - a week passed so a I cancelled and chose another manufacturer. (Slightly more expensive though)
