Deployment Template Package

Deliverables

POG’s Deployment Program & Services (DPS) is a licensed product. The client pays a one-time usage fee for the right to use the detailed POG template package over a 12-month period. The client has the option to customize it using internal resources, or request consulting assistance from POG.

Acquire the DPS licensed product from POG. (Shrink-wrapped package)
Training: POG provides a 5-day review and training session. (Expenses extra)
Optional: Discuss and/or request consulting assistance from POG

At a minimum, every print optimization deployment project requires two active participants:

Vendor to install hardware and train end users on new technology
Client to administer and project manage the deployment and interface with end users.

Value-add Deployment Services

As the 3rd participant, POG Consulting provides the following value-add deployment services:

Independence: An objective and transparent process is critical to ensure project deliverables are client centric vs. vendor hardware, revenue and profit focused.

Methodology: The vendor and client need an established and proven process and program supported by a thought-out methodology. (i.e. POG’s licensed product) Owning the process gives the client control.

Experience: There is no substitution for experience, especially in such a high visibility project such as print optimization. POG has extensive experience and knowledgeable subject matter experts available through POG’s Trusted Print Advisor program.

Cultural Navigation©: Print Optimization and the subsequent deployment are 80% about people and change management and only 20% about the technology. Securing management and end user buy-in to support the proposed changes is critical.
