Network Refresh Programme
Most refresh projects fail on supply rather than on design. A phased programme only works if every phase arrives complete on the date the change window was booked.
Solutions
Programmes We Run From Audit to Handover
Supply is one part of each of these. The rest is the sequencing that keeps a phased rollout on the dates it was promised.
Solutions
Campus Wireless Deployment
Wireless projects are rarely stopped by the access point. They are stopped by a mount, a PoE class or a licence count that nobody confirmed before the order went out.
Solutions
Data Center Switching Build
A cabinet is commissioned as a unit, so it should be supplied as one. Switches, optics, rails and power leads belong in the same consignment.
Solutions
Server and Storage Supply
A server order is judged on whether the node goes in on the booked date, which depends almost entirely on the parts that are not the server.
Solutions
Support Contracts and SmartNet
A support contract registered under a reseller name is of limited use to the organisation that owns the outage. Entitlement is written under the end user name.
Solutions
Global Logistics and Drop Shipping
Hong Kong is a practical despatch point for most of the world. Consignments go to the site, not to a central store and then out again.
Solutions
Procurement for System Integrators
An integrator carries the risk between quoting a client and receiving the hardware. Firm pricing and a written lead time per line is what makes that risk manageable.
FAQ
Solutions and Programmes Questions
How Do I Start a Conversation About Solutions
Send the constraint you are working to rather than a part number. Site count, dates and the hardware already deployed is enough for a first response.
Do You Work With Integrators or Direct With End Users
Both. Consignments can be released to an end customer under your own documentation where you are delivering the project.
Is Hardware Held Against a Programme
Yes, where the programme quantity is agreed. That holds the price and protects against a discontinuation part way through.
Send the Constraint Not the Part Number
Site count, dates and what is already deployed is enough to get a useful first answer.
