Industry Leadership

Since the very earliest days of IT lifecycle services and independent IT hardware lifecycle infrastructure support, XSi has been recognized as an industry pioneer and thought leader, especially with network infrastructure hardware. 2020 marked its 30th Anniversary! The company founder is a board member of the Service Industry Association and ASCDI, both of which engage with the independent IT hardware lifecycle support provider community to continually improve service standards, ensure member business ethics and provides ongoing member education within a continually evolving IT marketplace. Two members of the XSi executive team were founding members of the Right to Repair Coalition, while XSi’s founder continues to serve on its board of directors.

XSi has been recognized in the Wall Street Journal as a leading independent hardware maintenance provider for network infrastructure hardware. Check out this article named,” Some CIOs Not Ready to Switch Networking Gear.”

Aligned with XSi’s commitment to high quality standards, XSi is one of the first companies in the world to earn the R2v3 certification from SERI for its standards surrounding its IT Asset Disposition service.

As the market evolves and client requirements will change (for IT hardware lifecycle services), XSi is known for being first-to-market with real-world IT hardware lifecycle solutions which it has developed in close collaboration with our clients.

If your organization has a Gartner subscription, XSi can provide you the publication name and Gartner ID so you can review these helpful advisory publications via your organization’s access credentials.

Gartner’s research/reporting of the adoption of independent hardware support (embracing a Hybrid IT Hardware Support model) by the world’s largest companies was especially useful. “Forecast Analysis: IT Services, Worldwide, 1Q17 Update” Gartner ID: G00327730

Why XSI?

30 Years

  • XSi was founded and began supporting enterprise IT lifecycles and IT hardware lifecycles in 1990.
  • In 2021, XSi earned the R2v3 Certification for its quality standards – one of the first companies in the world to receive this certification.
  • Cited as a “Disruptor” by Gartner among independent IT hardware lifecycle and hardware maintenance providers.
  • Respected by peers and clients as a “Pioneer” in the development of client-focused IT lifecycle service variations to address evolving market needs.

Highly Consultative

  • XSI believes great consultation begins with unmatched listening.
  • Committed to ongoing demonstrations of multi-directional education and learning – every day.
  • Each member of the XSi leadership team has 20+ years OEM experience or 20+ years in IT Lifecycle Services, IT Hardware Lifecycle support and independent IT Hardware Maintenance.
To maximize hardware support cost containment, independent hardware support providers must be highly consultative.

Independent Hardware Support can lead to cost-savings within IT operating expense budgets.

Technical Competence and Agility

Respected support for IT infrastructure support and IT hardware lifecycle services:

  • Requires much more than the awareness of 30 years of OEM hardware launches and subsequent End of Life announcements – the “Tech Refresh Treadmill.”
  • Ivy League degrees create less value than in-depth, per product awareness within your environment’s platform families.
  • When independent IT hardware lifecycle support can be deduced as optional, differentiation is possible only with leading-edge technical competence and a level of agility that exceeds client objectives.

IT Maintenance

Data center servers, data storage and network infrastructure hardware need not always and only be under OEM support agreements. Remarkable cost savings are possible by choosing Hybrid Hardware Support models, where independent hardware support makes sense for assets deemed eligible. Additionally, End-of-Life (EoL) and End-of-Support (EoS) announcements need not be a corner lacking options. XSi has consulted on and been delivering independent IT hardware support since 1990. XSi welcomes RFPs and RFIs.

Government Solutions

Driving significant cost savings is only one of the benefits of XSi’s IT Lifecycle Services, or adopting a Hybrid Hardware Support model:

  • Extends the useful life of IT infrastructure hardware assets for as long as clients so choose.
  • Permit federal agencies to have support long beyond OEM announced End of Life or End of Support dates. There is no forced tech refresh.
  • Frees up budget dollars for cloud transitions or other initiatives deemed important to the client.
  • Improves IT Asset Management practices, which in turn positively impact: renewals, CapEx purchases and compliance prior to OEM audits.
  • Often helps consolidate and simplify vendor count.

XSi is R2v3 Certified and also ISO9001:2015, ISO14001:2015, ISO45001:2018 Certified. XSi meets meets SAE AS5553 Standards, Cage Code: 0T5L0, currently supports 42 federal agencies and all of the Top 10 Federal Systems Integrators.

Partner Opportunities

Developing new partner relationships can help IT lifecycle, IT infrastructure and hardware support providers expand one another’s support offerings or geographic coverage, as well as the value from the depth of the partnerships we can create with existing clients. At this time, XSi has greatest interest in furthering ITAD opportunities in more geographies than it currently serves and would like to build deeper relationships with several VARs.
