14. Customization Limited Choices Customer Satisfaction
We are intentionally limiting our DTO options
Keep in mind the G/Y/O/R concept
We expect, and will support, some degree of customization
Quote Desk will serve as the first gate in assessing customization
Product Manager, supported by Engineering and R&D will assess complex requests
Customer Satisfaction
We intend to provide a high level of customer support for customization
We also intend to preserve the “standard product” concept to the degree possible
