Customer Specified Placement Benefits

Customers get the systems ordered configured to their specifications before they ship. Systems are up and running much faster and with higher quality.

Customer and service personnel no longer have to rebuild the system. Space in the customers location is no longer required to rebuild the system. Quality is improved as components are not exposed to the handling damage incurred during rebuild.

Customers know that their configuration will work because the configurations are run through existing configuration and validation processes then tested in the final configuration and not changed at installation.

Improved risk management for the customer and account teams.
