ArchLIGHT Summit

This presentation will focus on when, why and how to engage a systems integrator to ensure a painless and successful end result. This will be a 2 part (40 minute) presentation followed by Q & A.

Part 1) What is a systems integrator and why does my project need one? Not every project needs a systems integrator and during this portion we will differentiate between projects where one is not needed and projects where it would be best to include a systems integrator in the specifications. (20 minutes)

Part 2) Once I have determined my project needs a systems integrator, what is the best method for choosing one and getting them involved. During this portion we will go over how to specify a systems integrator, where the specifications should live in the spec documents and at what stage would it be best to engage the integrator.(20 minutes)
