“We recently turned to Tech Data to perform some standard configurations for a project that included fourteen 4510 switches. As a Gold partner we have a significant technical team, but by leveraging Tech Data’s staging services, our engineers were able to focus on more complicated advanced technology/ technical activities enabling us to scale our resources even further. That cost trade-off was a big advantage for us. Tech Data pulled together everything we needed and the configuration process went exactly according to plan. Since then, we have used Tech Data's Integration Services a second time and are in discussions about a series of large installs across the country."
