These three main problems are firstly that scheduling installations around the normal day to day activities can be difficult for many VA Rs.
Several installations coming at once can lead to storage, scheduling and logistic problems.
Secondly, because of space limitations the installations usually take place on the customer's site, thereby taking space at the customer's premises and taking up their time. Finally, when Sun ships to the VAR, it also invoices for the equipment shipped. It can then take six to eight weeks for the VAR to get to the stage where the company can invoice the customer for the completed system. This can present the VAR with a cash flow problem. Our experience with library systems and our highly skilled staff of librarians and computing professionals, combined with custom installation from SunService, means that joint customers can be assured that their installation of Talis will be well planned and executed to a high standard.
