ICM Deployment Methodology:
- Sourcing
We help you select the right equipment and the right vendors for your mobile project. We manage the sourcing process to make sure that the equipment you need is available when you need it.
- Scheduling
Fleet-sized deployments take careful planning. We know that a truck in the garage stuck waiting for equipment is not helping you or your customers. We work with you to coordinate a deployment and installation timetables that work for your business.
- Storing
Large projects often require ordering laptops, mounting gear, modems, and other equipment well in advance of scheduled installations. ICM can provide temporary warehousing of equipment to simplify the logistics of a deployment without crowding your facilities.
- Staging and Configuration
At ICM we know the traps that can throw a deployment off schedule and out of budget; DOA equipment, mismatched mounting hardware for vehicle installations, and missing drivers for accessories and peripherals are just a few of the pitfalls that can hamper a deployment. To head off these challenges we offer pre-deployment services that can be included in your mobile project. From image loading to wireless configuration to pre-assembly to burn-in & diagnostics, we have the tools and the know-how to make sure that every machine you deploy in the field is fully functional and ready to add value to your business.
- Shipping and Installing
Do you need vehicle mounted computers? Special antennas? Are your mobile workers spread across multiple offices? What about multiple states? ICM works with your project team to make sure that your mobile computers get to the right place at the right time with all the right accessories. We work with certified installers to make sure that vehicle mounted systems are installed properly for the safety of your mobile workers and the preservation and longevity of your investment.
- Supporting
At ICM, we don't just deliver your systems and walk away. We offer long-term support packages that can address all of your post-deployment needs. We can provide in-warranty repairs, hot-spare programs, re-imaging services, and even sunset services for outdated equipment. More importantly, when you have new problems to solve, ICM is there to help you find answers. Our twenty years of experience in reselling mobile solutions and providing dependable service is at your disposal.
