An a technology professional, NOREX founder Ron Haberkorn has always looked out for the best interests of his peers in Information Technology (IT). In the early 1980's Ron noticed that many IT brokers and vendors were taking advantage of the IT community during technology equipment transactions. Many IT leaders shared Ron’s frustration, so Ron decided it was time to act. With an entrepreneurial an
d servant-minded philosophy, Ron set out to create a fair, unbiased, and affordable way for IT professionals to buy and sell technology equipment. The NOREX IT peer consortium was born, free from brokers and vendors. Over the year the tech industry has been bombarded with advisory and consultancy services employing a vendor-sponsored business model. Not so with NOREX. While it is certainly not anti-vendor, NOREX provides a much-need way for the IT community to share ideas and solve problems without somebody listening in or trying to sell them something. Free of vendor sponsorship and influence, NOREX remains the IT community's trusted platform for leveraging best practices, sharing tested solutions, and revealing candid vendor experiences...with a focus on ROI, not pie in the sky. Following in Ron’s footsteps, NOREX continues to serve its members with unlimited access to time-saving working documents (submitted by members), vendor-free roundtable events, and an assigned personal assistant to conduct research and facilitate strategic member-to-member communication. There is no other resource in IT that shares these distinctives. If you had never heard of NOREX before reading this, you're not alone. Many of our 13,000+ members say “NOREX is the best kept secret in IT.” We would agree. But with your help, we're looking to change all of that. If you or someone you know in IT would like to know more about this unique and needed movement, visit NOREX.net.
