Staging and Configuration Process

ASD has 30+ years of experience developing and optimizing national IT rollout processes and protocols to minimize issues, decrease costs, and increase efficiencies. While steps can vary from project to project, we follow a multi-step methodology to prepare your equipment for a plug-and-play installation. With our proven track record, you know every box is checked, and every project milestone will be met. 

1. Hardware receipt and verification: Whether owner-furnished or ASD-furnished, we receive, sort, evaluate, and inventory every item. We assess the condition, count devices, note technical details, and serialize each asset for tracking.  

2. Imaging and Configuration: Once the software image is configured, validated, and tested, it’s deployed across all assets. If per-device personalization is required, we’ll configure it to align with the exact specifications.

3. Device testing: Every device and component is tested, so it works right out of the box once on-site.
4. Kitting: All necessary equipment is packaged together and palletized so there’s no lost equipment or delays to critical components. 

5. Warranty entitlement: Once the enterprise technology has been shipped to the end user, our team will log a full list of serial numbers for every asset and activate the OEM warranties.

6. Field support and maintenance: Our team of project managers supports our technicians in the field to ensure a smooth installation and turnup. If something goes wrong later, our service desk offers level 1, 2, and 3 support and can dispatch to the site if needed.
