Typical situation no. 58
A French manufacturer of low and medium voltage switchboards wants to benefit from long lead times at the major vendors. Its products are compliant, but no data center designer has it on their approved list.
WHAT IS BLOCKING
- Designers often specify the same brands, out of habit and caution.
- Expected tests, certificates and references are not always written down.
- Lead time is an argument, provided it can be met.
WHAT WE DO
- Identification of the technical and documentation requirements of designers and operators.
- Review of available certificates, tests and references.
- Preparation of a clear approval file with achievable lead times.
- Preparation of first meetings with specifiers.
WHAT YOU GET
- A credible approval file.
- The list of gaps to close.
- A pitch built on lead times and availability.
Typical format: Short assignment, three to six weeks. Every assignment is scoped in writing before it starts.
