Slow slow slow and where are all the products?? By golfislife13,  Oct 19, 2009 Mon Oct 19 20:47:15 GMT 2009

I haven't been able to log in all day.  This site has been slow for months now.  When I do get in, I can't find all products Dell sells.  I can configure a blade server, but there is no blade chassis to be found.  How can I come up with a ballpark estimate for management if I can't even find the products?  Not all laptop models can be found either.  We don't need the top of the line Latitudes, some times we just want Studios or Vostros, but we can't see them on our Premier page.  Why can't we see all products?

Disruptive Site Maintenance By Clifford9999,  Oct 15, 2009 Thu Oct 15 20:35:10 GMT 2009

Please stop performing major site maintenance in the middle of the business day.  And if you must do this, send an email announcing this in advance and post a meaningful message about what's going on and when the system is expected to be available.  Every time there's a major catalog change, my standard configs and/or full catalog completely disappear from the website with no explanation or expected uptime.    It's been that way all day today.

Let me control standard configs... By aseverance,  Oct 1, 2009 Fri Oct 02 03:35:01 GMT 2009

As the hw asset manager for my organization it's up to me to determine who can buy what and when...But it's not, really.  I have find what I want, contact my sales person and wait for it to get added.

I have no problem going through my sales person if I'm looking to make a bulk purchase, want special pricing or have questions about a configuration but it should not be a three day process to add a mouse to my standard configs list so my desktop technicians can order it.

I would really like the ability to browse the ENTIRE dell catalog and add customized systems, peripherals and other components myself at our base-line pricing to our standard configs.  If and when I feel a need to engage my sales rep on better pricing I can do that.

From the experience I've had making simple changes is nearly impossible even with the sales rep involved.  Items go missing without warning.  When I ask for an item to be added (like say those swanky new u2410 monitors) it gets added in a different section with a different description than the other monitors I already have listed. 

I frequently find myself having to go back into the system and compare my standard configs price vs our regular premier price and again vs the public price.  It should be a lot more straight forward and I don't really understand why it's so complicated.

Clean it up, speed it up.  Put me in control of my standard configurations and let my sales rep handle our special orders and requests.

Can I order equipment already? By zbomb33,  Oct 20, 2009 Tue Oct 20 11:28:10 GMT 2009

I'm a pretty patient person, but it has been over 24 hours since I have not been able to configure and order equipment.  Yesterday I could not login at all, today, the library of equipment can not be logged into.  When can we expect the equipment library to be back up and running?  Can you in the future let corporate accounts know that there will be outages and roughly how long it will take to get the system online again?

Product no longer available!!!! By WGBrock8well,  Jun 13, 2009 Sat Jun 13 16:12:50 GMT 2009

The first topic that leads me here today is that I created a quote 2 days ago and today it is no longer available, even though I told my client that it says it is good for 30 days!  Not good.  Now I try to recreate the quote and find that some items are now no longer available to our selections, OK, but if I choose the system without that product and have to choose something less, why does the price go $70.00 more?  If Dell tells me the quote expires in 30 days, it better honor the quote.

I cannot tell you how frustrated I am to not be able to quote product that SHOULD be available, but isn't.

How long did it take you guys to make the 1909W display available after removing the 1908FPW.  Holy cow!  Now that it available it will delay our orders!  So I started selling the 2208FPW and it is no longer there.

Let me say though, at first this tool was a godsend for me and my account rep.  I loved it!!!! It still needed some work, but I was able to do everything I needed.  As products have changed, I assume, the order site has just been frustrating.  I like all of the available tool for retrieving invoices and orders.

I also found out that being a good reseller, i know I dont do the business that many other do, but I have been selling a good portion of dell machines for quite some time and found out the other day that someone new applied for Dell premier status and got the same pricing as someone who has been with you for quite some time and sells a lot of machines.  hmmmm.  I really think you should have some kind of tier level, or maybe I am just too small of a fish, don't really know.


ADMIN NOTE:  We appreciate any and all feedback, and the opportunity to address issues that arise with your experience on Premier and other Dell websites.  However, we would ask that submissions for this particular forum be focused on ideas for feature and functionality requests within Premier.

It is important to remember that any quote from Dell is a guarantee of price on the selected items through the expiration, but not necessarily availability.  For Dell's Client and Enterprise products, such as OptiPlex, Latitude, and PowerEdge, lifecycles are managed carefully, including End-Of-Life for options.  Lightswitch transitions are more common on consumer brands, such as Inspiron, XPS, and Studio.  As always, consult with your Dell Sales Representative for product questions, including lifecycle and availability.

Make the n-series machines available through premier By james4765,  Jun 17, 2009 Wed Jun 17 18:50:03 GMT 2009

We sell a lot of Linux machines - both desktops and servers.  Although it is relatively simple to order a server with no OS or RHEL, ordering an Optiplex, Precision, or Vostro with pre-installed Linux is impossible to do through the Premier interface.  We have actually ordered through small business to get the n-series machines.

Although I know you may not want to offer every machine with no OS to the general public, those of us who do volume purchases would like to be able to buy them.  We have customers with retail copies of Windows and VLKs as well, and it's pointless to make them re-purchase a valid copy of Windows just because you can't order a machine with no OS license.


ADMIN NOTE:  We appreciate any and all feedback, and the opportunity to address issues that arise with your experience on Premier and other Dell websites.  However, we would ask that submissions for this particular forum be focused on ideas for feature and functionality requests within Premier.

Regarding product offerings, most all products offered in the Small Business site are available within Premier Systems Catalogs, including OptiPlex, Vostro and Precision Workstations offered with FreeDOS, Novell SUSE Linux Embedded, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Your Dell Account team owns the customization of your Premier page, may simply need to remove a filter to allow these products to display, or add your specified choices as Standard Configurations.

Thank you using PremierStorm.

Make it compatible with Ubuntu + Firefox By dburanen,  Jun 9, 2009 Wed Jun 10 04:20:07 GMT 2009

 In firefox and ubuntu, I don't see a systems tab to pick any laptops or desktops.  Chromium on Ubuntu works and Firefox in Windows via VirtualBox works so why can't Ubuntu + Firefox?
