Why Nue recommends this

Why it won

  • Single management console across all three stores keeps administration inside the capability of a two-person IT team.
  • PoE and controller headroom cover a fourth location without replacing core switching.
  • Delivery inside 5 business days protects the 6-week rollout window.
  • Landed cost sits $1,150 under the approved budget, leaving contingency for the install scope.

Trade-offs

  • Less redundancy than the Cisco path at the distribution layer.
  • Support is business hours, not 24/7, unless upgraded.
  • Requires more internal administration than a fully managed alternative.

Risks to monitor

  • Final PoE load is still unconfirmed.
  • AP count per store is an estimate based on floor area, not a survey.
  • Cutover scheduling has to stay outside trading hours.

What would change this recommendation?

If the project budget falls below $15,000, OfficeNet becomes the stronger value path. If 24/7 support becomes mandatory, NetCore moves ahead.

Why not the cheapest option?

OfficeNet is $1,950 less expensive, but receives a lower recommendation because of scalability, support quality and PoE headroom.
