SECTION 2 - INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND

The business objective of the partner is to implement the LabTech server in a trusted environment and acquire the basic skills to manage their Clients’ computers through this system. The Implementation project is designed to get a LabTech server installed and configured to LabTech best practices and to provide instruction on the basic operations and configurations to use the software. This project allows a new LabTech partner to be up and running with their new software as quickly as possible. The goal is to get your new LabTech server installed, configured and running with all necessary components to provide a solid, proven foundation with LabTech agents deployed to your clients before the end of the consulting project. In addition, it is LabTech Software’s intention to have instructed and demonstrated the software’s most commonly used features to the point that the partner is comfortable performing the basic functions on their own. At LabTech Software, we believe that providing outstanding professional services should be an integral part of our company’s offering. Your success is also our success, so we make every effort to provide efficient and affordable professional services through expert trainers and consultants to help you fast-track your investment in the LabTech RMM platform.




SECTION 3 - COMMITMENTS

Our Commitment to You

Read through the documents we send you and ask questions if there is anything you do not understand.

Providing feedback through returning surveys is appreciated.

Provide ample time for the project primary contact at your facility to keep their meetings with the LabTech Software consultant and to complete the project requirements.

When able, please provide one (1) business day notice to reschedule any meeting. We understand that emergency circumstances come up as is the nature of the IT services business and one day advance notice is not always possible.

Missed meetings are defined as being absent from a scheduled GoToMeeting™ by 15 minutes or more after the start time without notifying LabTech in advance. If three (3) meetings are missed, then the project will be placed “On Hold” and be rescheduled depending upon availability.

If you have to reschedule three (3) or more meetings, the project will be placed “On Hold” for completion at a later date. A project returned from an “On Hold” status will be rescheduled at next availability and there is no guarantee that it will be assigned to the same LabTech Software consultant.




Please note: persistent missing or rescheduling (more than three meetings) may result in the final two (2) hours being deducted from the backend of the project.
