What else could you ask for?  How about getting all this for absolutely nothing.  That's right...zilch, nada, nil, diddly squat, zip, not one red cent!  With Novell's NSBS Starter Pack, a small business can get the 5-User version of this package at no cost.  All you pay for is the installation cost itself.  With our great installation deals, you can be up and running for as little as $500 total.

How Does it Work?

• You simply contact an Authorized NSBS reseller (that would be us of course), and supply information about your company.  Our E-Mail address is support@gioffre.com
• We obtain a license for your product and register the NSBS in your company's name.  Remember this is FREE.
• We discuss the procedure with you and determine your hardware requirements.  If you need a server, we can provide you the specifications or order one for you.  Brand new entry-level servers start at under $1,000.
• We set up an appointment to visit your site and perform the complete installation.  Your company is up and fully functional that same afternoon!
• After that, you can call us for additional services as much or as little as you like.  Being one of the industry's leading Novell training providers, we can provide you with any training that you may need.

So, What's the Catch?

No catch...honest!  Novell is just betting on the fact that your business will "live long and prosper".  As your company grows, you will remain loyal to the Novell software you depend on, and eventually purchase additional licenses.  Remember that the NSBS can be expanded up to a maximum of 50 users.  Expansion beyond 50 users is also simple by upgrading to the regular Novell product line...no rip and replace is ever necessary.

We are betting that you will love our service, support, and training offerings so that you will return for any of your future needs.  We are the type of company that builds its user base on reputation and return business...once a customer, always a customer.  We realize how difficult (and expensive) it can be to start and run a small business so we give you a terrific deal on your initial product installation.  All this and your installation technician is still an industry expert with all current certifications.

Q&A

Q: Where can these services be provided, and are there any travel costs involved?

A: We are based in New Jersey.  The prices quoted include all travel costs for anyone in all of New Jersey, Philadelphia, or New York City.  Outside of this area we provide our services to anyone in the USA, with nominal travel fees to cover our costs and equipment shipping charges.  Typically, the total additional cost for anywhere in the continental United States is only $700.

Q: Do you have any sort of pricing guarantee?

A: Of course we do.  If you can find a comparable deal from any other Authorized NSBS dealer, we will beat their price by 5%.  The competing price must be provided to us before work commences and must cover the same products, installation costs, and fees.  The competing work must also be performed by an equally qualified and experienced network consultant.

Q: Why should I use Gioffre Consulting?

A: Simply stated, we are the best at what we do.  We have been working with Novell products for over 15 years.  Our consultants are the best in the industry.  We specialize in Novell technologies and nothing else!  Gioffre Consulting deals with Novell products because we love the products and believe in the technology...other vendors use the "we do it all" philosophy, which makes them a jack of all trades and master of none.  You need to get your network installed properly so you can become productive immediately and take care of your core business.  Do you want to spend your valuable time constantly calling the vendor back to fix your network issues?  We don't think so...call us once and start worrying about your business instead of your network.

Q: I'm ready! How do I get started?

A: Send us an E-Mail at  support@gioffre.com  We'll have a network technician contact you to discuss your needs.  We'll then provide you a comprehensive quote.  Upon your approval, we'll place the order and send you an invoice.  We'll then schedule an installation date and you'll be on your way.

Please note that due to SPAM concerns, we filter out E-Mail messages from all free public E-Mail services including Yahoo, Earthlink, Excite, Hotmail, Juno, Lycos, and others.  If you don't get a response from us, it's probably because your message is coming from one of these services.  In that case, simply give us a call at  888-GIO-FFRE.
