It’s not your lack of expertise holding you back but rather the software you’re using that’s causing the hold up.
In an over saturated market standing out on the right list and moving your position in the supply chain needs to happen fast to save you time and money.
The constant logging in and out of your trading platform to check on a status or for the latest listings, is the last thing that’s going to achieve this.
But, it’s not just accessing your lists that’s the issue, it’s how they are managed that leaves a lot of room for improvement.For example, your ICT selling list is diverse and nuanced. A cable is not a computer it demands to be categorized with much greater clarity, rather than being lumped together under a universal heading.
Finally on your list of frustrations is the process of tracking down just the right buyer or seller. This single step has left you feeling irritated and on the back foot as you spend far too much time tracking down your preferred choice of buyer or seller and nowhere near enough time actually running your business.
Sound familiar? It seems that not all trading platforms are created equal and though you might find one that ticks most of the boxes there are often gaping holes of functionality that can’t be ignored. Luckily the developers behind Global ICT Connections (GICT), know all about this. They worked for years under similar conditions, until they finally said: “enough is enough” and branched out on their own to create the perfect platform.
One of the major advantages is its broadcast list management. Quite simply, it is spot on. Not only does it deliver the very latest broadcast lists right to your inbox negating the need for you to keep logging in, it also helps you pinpoint exactly the right trader by narrowing the list down to your preferred country, location or activity.
But perhaps the area where users feel they’re really gaining an advantage is the precise nature of listings. No more broad categories that take far too long to search through, the GICT headings let buyers and sellers know exactly what they’re getting and where to find it. The beauty of this system is that if your ICT equipment doesn’t have anywhere it really fits, the team can easily create a category for you. No more rigid headings that don’t really mean anything or just having to ‘make do’.
You’d think there’d be a catch really. After all it’s very rare to get something for nothing. And it’s true this service doesn’t come free, but it does come reasonably priced, so reasonably priced that you’ll probably end up paying less than you do now with your current platform.
You didn’t get where you are today by paying for second class services, so apply that same smart sense to you trading platform and save time, money and your sanity with this innovative platform made by people like you, for people like you.
]]>Without a thorough VAT number check you run the risk of becoming the victim of fraudulent transactions, sometimes known as ‘carousel fraud’. These types of accidental criminal entanglements can become complex and create a great deal of extra time, hassle and paperwork for what should be a simple buying or selling process. While a necessity, the process of verifying the authenticity of VAT registration can be a long and drawn out one that takes time you really don’t have.
The good news is that with GICT’s VAT checking function, we take all the hard work out of it for you, leaving you with a safe and secure platform you can trade on in confidence. This frees up your time and provides you with the means to continue trading secure in the knowledge you’re dealing with legitimate companies.
Ordinarily you’d have to call a country-specific VAT helpline to check the status but this has the innate problem of only being able to check the company in the country you’re calling from and where you believe the company is registered. If you don’t have this information then verification is next to impossible.
The GICT website offers global trading and as such helps you find the global information you need quickly and easily. Using the VIES system available on the site, you can quickly and easily verify VAT registration in EU countries with just a few clicks. If you run up against invalid numbers or have any queries GICT also offers an extensive list of contacts in the EU that you can email for further information, saving you time, money and worry.
Unscrupulous dealers seem to crop up everywhere but on the GICT platform creating an honest and transparent process is at the heart of every transaction. To protect both buyers and sellers, there is a membership vetting process that has to take place. Thorough? Maybe, but it’s this process that provides you access to members from all over the world who have each been checked and verified by our team.
To cement their verification, feedback on all transactions is available for you to find the perfect trading match. The team also has a vigorous complaints policy that it takes very seriously and which carries serious consequences should trading rules be breached.
A Trade Safe Code is in place to protect everyone using the platform and make sure that all transactions are safe and secure.
Protecting your business and your reputation is as important to GICT as it is to you. Too often inexperienced and even the more experienced trader can fall foul of a scam, so sophisticated are the dishonest methods. To avoid falling prey to this kind of activity simply put your safety in the hands of a platform you can trust.

However, Nvidia's latest earnings success highlights a shift in the GPU industry. Artificial intelligence (AI) is now driving the GPU boom. Nvidia's CEO, Jensen Huang, expressed in a CNBC interview last month that the company recognized early on the potential of AI in transforming software development. As a result, they reoriented the entire organization to focus on AI, with every chip designed to support it.
Nvidia's early investment in AI is finally paying off, as their technology powers large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT. This has helped offset challenges faced by the broader semiconductor industry, such as U.S.-China trade tensions and global chip shortages.
Nevertheless, Nvidia is not immune to geopolitical issues. In October, the U.S. implemented new regulations prohibiting the export of cutting-edge AI chips to China. With China accounting for roughly one-quarter of Nvidia's revenue, including sales of the popular A100 AI chip, the company had to adapt quickly. Huang reported that Nvidia has been able to serve its Chinese customers with regulated components while remaining compliant with the new rules.
The annual GTC developer conference, hosted by Nvidia from March 20-23, will focus heavily on AI. In an interview with CNBC at Nvidia's headquarters in Santa Clara, California, Huang discussed the company's central role in the burgeoning generative AI field. He attributed Nvidia's success to a combination of luck and foresight, primarily in the area of accelerated computing.
GPUs are the core of Nvidia's business, contributing over 80% of their revenue. These GPUs, often sold as cards that plug into a PC's motherboard, enhance the computing power of central processing units (CPUs) manufactured by companies like AMD and Intel.
Today, tech firms competing with ChatGPT are proudly showcasing the number of Nvidia's A100s, which cost around $10,000 each, in their possession. Microsoft revealed that the supercomputer developed for OpenAI utilized 10,000 A100 GPUs.
]]>At first glance, this might appear to be an isolated issue, affecting smaller players in the market. However, we were shocked to discover that even some of the biggest names in the IT sector are involved in this malpractice. These are not small startups but multinational corporations with branches in over 30 countries, companies that are often highly respected in the industry. Yet, these very companies are now engaging in practices that undermine the trust and respect that professional trading should be built upon.
The reality is that these behaviours are not isolated incidents but rather a systemic issue that reflects a broader problem within these organizations. When a company, regardless of its size, consistently fails to meet its financial obligations, it becomes a risky business partner. Even if the amounts owed are small, the pattern of non-payment shows a lack of commitment to upholding agreements and fostering good business relationships.
So, what does this mean for the wider trading community in the IT sector? The truth is, these companies no matter how large or influential they may be, pose a serious risk to anyone who engages with them. If they are willing to withhold payment for a relatively small amount, one can only imagine how they would handle larger transactions. Their unwillingness to respect agreements erodes trust, which is the foundation of all successful business relationships.
In the light of all this, we created this publicly accessible page where we will list the names of these companies as they come to us. The goal is not to punish these companies but to raise awareness and allow others in the industry to make informed decisions. It may be surprising to see some of the names that will appear on this list, but it is important for everyone involved whether you are a buyer, seller, or service provider to understand the risks of doing business with these organizations.
At the end of the day, it’s not about the size of the business or the amount of money involved. It’s about the integrity and professionalism that every company in the IT equipment trading space should uphold. A healthy, thriving market is one that is built on trust, clear communication, and respect for agreements. As an industry, we must work together to make sure that all parties buyers and sellers alike are held to these high standards.
To help combat this growing issue, we’ve launched a Fraud Alert Group to warn others in the industry. If you'd like to join click the link below
The group will initially be admin-only for posting alerts. Join the group

]]>China has instructed its largest technology groups, including ByteDance and Alibaba, to halt purchases and trials of Nvidia’s latest AI chips designed for the Chinese market. The directive, issued by the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC), targets the RTX Pro 6000D and comes as Beijing intensifies efforts to accelerate local semiconductor production and reduce dependence on US suppliers.
Industry insiders said several companies had planned major orders and had already begun validation work with Nvidia’s server partners. Those projects were stopped immediately following the CAC’s order. The move sent Nvidia’s shares down about 3 per cent.
Unlike earlier restrictions that focused on the H20 chip, this ban marks a broader push to replace Nvidia’s products with homegrown alternatives. Regulators recently reviewed performance data from Chinese chipmakers such as Huawei, Cambricon, Alibaba, and Baidu, and concluded that their AI processors now match or exceed the performance of Nvidia’s export-restricted models.
Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang expressed disappointment but noted that the company could only operate in markets where governments allow it. He added that broader geopolitical tensions between China and the US were shaping the situation.
The message to Chinese firms is clear: invest fully in local chip technologies to compete in the global AI race.
