"What we are hearing from new customers is that although they recognise that these are the most developed and complete kits available, that budgets are being squeezed and entry price is becoming a key factor", says Bob Giblett, President of Strategic Test.
"Also what we are seeing is a number of new competitors who sell technical support as an option to the kit price and so we've decided to adopt an aggressive policy and extend our market lead by reducing the price and giving the customers the choice to buy technical support".
