1. A method for managing a configurable device, the method comprising:
obtaining the configurable device packaged in compliant packaging, the configurable device being configured to provide computer implemented services to other entities;
operably connecting the configurable device packaged in the compliant packaging to a configuration station using an access element of the compliant packaging and a communication element;
while the configuration station is operably connected to the configurable device and with the configuration station:
changing a power state of the configurable device from unpowered to powered, wherein changing the power state of the configurable device to powered comprises powering on a processor of the configurable device while the configurable device is packaged in the compliant packaging,
while in the powered state, configuring the configurable device with the communication element to obtain a configured configurable device that is configured to provide updated computer implemented services, and the processor being configured to provide, at least in part, the updated computer implemented services provided by the configured configurable device, and
changing a power state of the configured configurable device from powered to unpowered;

disconnecting the configured configurable device from the configuration station; and
sealing the compliant packaging using a securing element attached to the access element to obtain a configured configurable device packaged in deployment ready packaging, wherein the securing element is distinct from the access element.
