Technology That’s Ready to Unbox and Go
People are manufacturing’s most important asset. In today’s tight labor market, 70% of manufacturers are struggling to find qualified workers.* Employees have high expectations when it comes to technology. Whether your IT team delivers endpoints to new employees or replaces an existing device, it’s important to get technology right every time to ensure manufacturers can attract, retain, and optimize the productivity of their talent pool. A true unbox-and-go solution needs to improve the end-user experience and their productivity.Using Connection’s “Facility in a Box” product solutioning ensures your equipment will be provisioned, tested, validated, and securely packaged before arriving at your site. Having a one-source vendor ensures all your products arrive on time and ready for the day of implementation. This limits downtime and reduces the amount of hands-on deployment tasks at your location.
