CDW Gets: Simplified Procurement
and Onboarding
Startups do not typically hire IT until after 100 employees, but they still need to outfit employees with the technology needed to perform their jobs. CDW Portal enables a self-service, zero-touch equipment deployment experience while maintaining procurement governance, standards, and cost control.
CDW procurement automation includes:
- A zero-cost management console to create custom hardware software bundles for employees
- Device outfitting with CDW Configuration Services to auto-enroll devices into Apple Business Manager or Microsoft Autopilot, provision SaaS tools and prepare kit devices with peripherals
- A dedicated account manager and vendor neutral technical experts
CDW Gets: Startup Security and Compliance
Cybersecurity is critical for startups to protect assets, comply with regulations, prevent business disruptions and attract investment. Most importantly, it's a smart investment if your startup is looking to acquire enterprise customers.
CDW can help map out an effective cybersecurity and compliance strategy for your startup with:
- Industry-leading cybersecurity and a brand neutral approach to find right-sized solutions for your budget
- Highly certified cyber experts of industry compliance and regulations, ready to consult at no cost
- Security assessments, penetration tests and audit services

CDW Gets: Startups are Cloud and Digital Natives
The cloud offers startups agility, scalability and low cost of entry. But the cloud also needs constant upkeep and adjustment. Deploying cloud infrastructure involves analyzing tools and software solutions, like application monitoring and activity logging, leading many developers to suffer from analysis paralysis. The stage of your startup will dictate the evolution of tools, as the combinations will change dramatically over time as your business scales.
CDW makes all things cloud easy for startups through:
- Modern cloud strategy consulting so you can handle any workload, with any cloud provider, for better leverage and no lock-in
- Cloud cost optimization and cost-saving solutions
- Automated digital infrastructure to keep you ahead of the competition
