What's Up With "The Box"?

Understanding the TSP "In A Box" Solutions

If you've ever had the bad luck to have a computer go down, hopefully you've had the good luck to bring it in to our Service Department. Most often you can bring the system in, describe the symptoms ("...it started making a clicking noise...") and the Service Tech will have a pretty good idea of what the problem is before he even sees the machine. They've seen many problems hundreds of times before.

The same is true of our Sales department. Every one is new, every system is different, but the basic needs and components are similar every time. Our first questions are generally, "what do you do, and what software are you running?" and we go from there. We've built the same basic system hundreds of times.

"In a Box" (IAB) solutions leverage that knowledge by creating complete hardware and software packages for specific solutions. While very few people will purchase an IAB solution exactly as spec'ed - this approach has some great advantages.

It's a Complete Package

We know Adobe CS3 likes RAM, video editors need fast hard drives, the new glossy displays let photographers see the screen outdoors. We also know that if you're going on location for a 6-city sweep, you're going to need battery-powered backup hard drive storage.

The details don't escape us.

It's a Starting Point

Of course every system is a little different. Every person's needs are specific. The IAB Solutions can be used as a starting point to build the system for your specific requirements. The solution allows you to take a fast, complete look at what we consider the necessary system to do what you need to do. From there, we can add and subtract to suit your custom requirements.

It's a Known Quantity

We all know business owners and managers hate surprises. The IAB Solution gives you the ability to think about a workstation as an asset, not a computer. You hire a new designer, you need a new workstation.

Even better, if you're anticipating an increase in production, say, pitching a new client that is going to require an increase in your workload, you can plug the numbers in with assurance that they are going to be accurate.

By making the workstation a component of your business, you give your management team the tools to plan your business growth in a smarter way.

It's a Better Price

Finally, let's talk money. If you can come to our Sales Department prepared with a good idea of what you need, it can save us both a lot of time. We can go down the list with you, adding and omitting, with a clear understanding of your needs and wants. We can also give you pricing faster and more accurately on a package, generating a complete quote in minutes.

Just like your business, our Sales Department faces the reality of "Time is Money." If we can get you the specifications faster and easier, we can cut you a better deal on our already low price!
