The only significant installation tasks are physical placement of the DCAF server, installation of the DCAF client on additional systems not pre-configured at InnoSoft, connecting the DCAF server to the factory network, and the configuration of equipment specific data format translators. Training DCAF system training is crucial to the successful use of this productivity tool. Though not difficult to use, a few DCAF pointers, tips and general system knowledge help the user to get the most out of the tool. In some cases, system administration training is required. All training materials are provided by InnoSoft.
Training can occur before or concurrently with the deployment step.
Since most engineering and management use of DCAF revolves around data analysis, useful and significant training can occur after DCAF system testing and without the system being installed at the client's site. There are many levels of support offered. In keeping with DCAF's turnkey philosophy, InnoSoft ideally provides all maintenance and support, from application updates and server backups to database tuning and further customization.
