Hardware and Software Installation and Configuration Services
CR Software provides hardware and software installation services to all its customers. CR Software analysts are well trained on software installations for small to large businesses. Analysts are involved with system analysis well before a new system is actually sold, so that they are well acquainted with a company’s needs. Once servers are configured using CR Software’s proven methodologies, a comprehensive test script is used to run new hardware installations through stress tests to ensure system stability.
The scope and specifics associated with training or a new installation services timeline are contracted in advance with CR Software. Our industry experts are a key component in the process and typically compile a comprehensive "Needs Analysis" and then "Definition of the Statement of Work" project. An example of the scope of this includes, but would not be limited to:
System Based:
- System definitions and agency parameters
- Administrative setup, including workgroups and creditors
- Personnel security and user roles
- Workflow definitions
