Technology pre-configured to your business needs

Our range of pre-delivery configuration services ensure your hardware and software arrive ready to use out of the box. This frees up your IT staff and can reduce weeks off your project delivery timelines, getting your people up and running in no time.

Supply Chain Challenges

It’s important that the people who manage your customers' configuration have experience and knowledge of the task at hand. If they don’t, it’s easy to fall off schedule, leading to loss of revenue and productivity. Inexperienced technicians can easily miss critical details, leading to delays, lost revenue, and decreased productivity.

1

Time Constraints

In-house IT staff are less likely to have the experience necessary for a configuration project, resulting in slower, less efficient deployments. Plus, configuration takes time away from higher-level projects. Let the experts, with the infrastructure to match, do the work.

2

Financial Challenges

It’s not uncommon for new technology to arrive with issues that need to be resolved. When replacing problematic equipment, the shipping costs alone can become a serious budgetary concern. We deal with the DOA equipment quickly behind the scenes, and in the majority of cases with zero delays.

3

Multi-site Issues

Businesses with multiple locations and an international reach have to either send their configuration team to each of their sites or re-ship their devices to secondary locations after configuring them in-house. Both options have financial and logistical implications.
