Essextec Innovation Center
Solution Validation - Performance & Reliability Testing - Training - Seminars
At Essextec, we have made a significant investment in our Innovation Center, which is designed to test client specific solutions in a fully interactive, real world environment. The Innovation Center allows our clients and prospective clients to:
- Validate solutions
- Test the performance and reliability of multiple configurations
- Use simulated or real data
- Access test environment remotely for short or long durations
- Perform ongoing training of key personnel
- Conduct seminars
Of the tens of thousands of IT consulting and services firms across the country, only a handful have made the substantial investment required to build, operate, and continuously maintain an Innovation Center.
Why has Essextec made this investment?
Because we believe, more than anything else, the ability to test and validate solutions in real world environments is the best way for our clients to understand what their business can gain from Essextec's solutions. In addition, our Innovation Center allows us to rigorously evaluate best of breed solutions, before we recommend them.
Our clients consistently find the use of our Innovation Center as a helpful tool to evaluate and test hardware and software solutions before making a purchase.
"We had a real challenge. We needed to upgrade our mission critical hardware to the latest version, but that meant we also had to upgrade to the latest OS. We had no way to know how that would impact our applications - and configuration mistakes could have been extremely costly. Using Essextec's Innovation Center, we were able to load the new OS, multiple hardware configurations, and our mission critical application data simultaneously. Then we tested it for three months - remotely accessing the environment daily. What we learned was invaluable. We simply could not have accomplished a successful, clean rollout of a new environment any other way."
