Are you aware of the ongoing supply chain issues that continue to affect the availability of vital business hardware? This is the result of a confluence of both demand and supply chain shocks including a global chip shortage, labor shortages, manufacturing disruptions from COVID, and higher demand. Independent of the cause, the impacts are continuing to reverberate throughout the global economy. Manufacturers that rely on these components (Lenovo, Dell, HP, Cisco, etc..) are anticipating delays in the fulfillment of new hardware and products. They expect the effects of the shortage to last at least through the remainder of 2022. Please prepare for potential delays and longer-than-normal lead times for the hardware. ### Supply Chain Delays And Chip Shortages—What’s Causing All The Trouble? While chip manufacturers fail to produce a sufficient supply of these key components, prices will inevitably go up. TSMC plans to [hike its prices](https://www.theverge.com/2021/8/26/22642627/tsmc-chip-price-increase-supply-shortages-apple-qualcomm) in line with the limited amount of components they are able to produce. This has resulted in a bidding war among major manufacturers. As globally active brands like Toyota and Apple compete for vital components, they’ll have to pay much higher prices. Add to that increases in shipping costs and higher wages for labor, along with inflations, and you have costs continuing to climb. Those expenses will be passed along to consumers like you. Even Cisco has noted that prices are going to [continue to rise](https://www.zdnet.com/article/global-chip-shortages-supply-chain-woes-leading-to-tech-infrastructure-inflation/) for key components in IT infrastructure. These types of resources are critical in a vast majority of technologies, making the effects of their scarcity far-reaching. While prices may be high now, they’re only bound to increase over the next year. As the shortage continues and demand continues to climb, prices will increase in kind. That’s why you need to start placing orders now for the hardware you’ll need next year and the year after that. The longer you wait, the more it will cost you. ### Need Expert Assistance With Hardware Procurement?
