Gamechanger as a Supermicro® partner
In fact, the story behind Ahead-IT begins in 2004, in a small attic room where the first servers were being sold in the gaming industry. Soon, this room was filled with boxes which were replaced to the garage, that again became too small. Thus it was only a small step to move to a small office of 300 m2 in Gentbrugge. But also that office was soon bursting at the seams. Moreover, the location caused logistical problems. Today Ahead-IT is located in Wetteren, where all 1200 m2 are being used. Meanwhile our team consists of 6 employees and will even grow in the future.
From supplier to partner
For the purpose of quality, we easily chose Supermicro® as our main brand. However, Ahead-IT aims to be more than a traditional IT company. Not only we evolved from an IT company to a system builder, but we also pursue to be a Supermicro® partner for our customers. Because of our expertise and technical know-how we can give customized advice regarding the best IT solutions. A collaboration with Ahead-IT goes beyond an order of a server. You’ll get a partner in IT for life at the same time, as well as professional advice and a reliable service. In this way, we try to be a gamechanger in our field.
Reliable quality servers with service
“Reliable quality servers with service” is mentioned under our logo. And that is no lie. In fact, it’s our vision which inspires us every day to offer our customers the most qualitative and innovative server solutions. Thanks to our Advised Partner Plan we not only deliver in Belgium, but also in the rest of Europe.
Why more and more customers choose Ahead-IT over and over again?
As a partner in IT we always try to be one step ahead – hence our company name – in our activities. And that’s exactly what our customers are looking for. We try to be a pioneer in different ways.
Market-conform prices
We know exactly how products are priced on the market. Although we only work with top brands as Supermicro®, Intel, Open-E, AMD, Samsung, Asus and VMware we also like to ask affordable prices. That’s why our discounts play a major role here.
A close team
Ahead-IT not only has a professional team with the necessary knowledge and experience, but also a close team in which each department works closely together. Here technicians, warehousemen, sales people and administrative employees are teaming up in order to make a success of every day. Even the dog of the staff is appreciated at the office. This familiar working atmosphere ensures that all our employees are loyal and are happy to work together, for many years.
