"

Simpatico Network srl in Italy is specialized in selling refurbished computers over its website either to Dealers or End Users. Before joining the Microsoft Authorized Refurbisher program in April 2011 we missed a lot of sales because we sold computers that were wiped with no operating system.

But thanks to the MAR program we have increased our sales and now we sell refurbished computers with authentic Windows preinstalled directly to schools and to small businesses, plus to a new distribution channel."

"

Flection group operates European wide and we are specialized in selling refurbished computers over our websites either to Schools or End Users. Beside this, we have a dealer network which sells our products in the European market.

Before joining the MAR program we missed a lot of opportunities because we sold computers without an operating system. But since we joined the MAR program, we increased our sales by 30% and we sell more to small businesses based on the fact we are installing MAR licenses on our products.

Due to the cooperation with Microsoft we closed several partnerships with big distribution companies to sell refurbished computers and laptops into their channels, for this we want to thank Microsoft as they came up with this wonderful solution."

"

We are delighted with the results we achieved as a MAR and are impressed with the commitment and support Microsoft has shown in building the program. MAR has played an essential role in building the credibility of the Refurbished industry."
