Technology Procurement Program

Provisioning encompasses everything from deciding what new technology should be purchased to setting standards for those purchases, finding the best price, ordering and coordinating on-time delivery. It is also an activity full of complexities that have wide reaching implications, extending far beyond your purchasing department.

Integration Services
Configuration & Staging Services
New IT assets must be prepared for integration into your business environment. When the burden of configuration is placed on internal staff or an unreliable partner, new equipment may sit for weeks without attention, leaving end users to struggle with substandard machines.
Benefits of ATG Configuration & Staging Services
ATG provides configuration and staging services designed to prepare assets accurately for integration into your working environment. We work with you to develop configuration standards and then use highly efficient processes to configure and test (hot stage) these assets. The process:
- Ensures system compatibility and continuity
- Reduces the chance of post-installation issues
- Reduces order-to-installation cycle time
- Increases end-user productivity
- Reduces service calls and support time
ATG Configuration & Staging Services
Our services provide everything needed to integrate new technology quickly and easily. Our configuration and staging services ensure that each distributed or networked asset is ready to be integrated into your environment with:
- Certified facilities
- Custom Image Development
- Fast, reliable, consistent order fulfillment
- Asset Tagging
- Quality Control Processes
Through our quality control process, your software and hardware components are verified, tested and re-tested before shipping. Every image is scanned to ensure a virus is never introduced into your systems. You tell us your specifications, and we will configure your entire order to meet your customized image requirements. We pre-load hardware components with prepackaged or proprietary software applications to ensure instant end-user productivity. We process, configure and ship most orders within two days. This not only reduces the overall timetable for your configuration, but also decreases the time it takes for an end user to begin to use a new system. As part of the configuration process, we affix each new desktop, server and peripheral with its own bar code label per your asset tracking requirements. This enables you to accurately track your assets.
