ASSIST is a solution delivery service designed to ensure that the core components of Derby’s solutions are brought on-line as quickly as possible, and that the appropriate knowledge base is in place to support the software applications once the installation is completed. ASSIST focuses on all the tasks needed to successfully bring a Derby solution on-line at the client’s facility and not just the tasks needed to install the software. This "whole product" concept ensures that there are no gaps between software installation and solution delivery. Another key element of the ASSIST service is the attention paid to detail. By providing the resolution needed to clearly define what tasks must be performed, the opportunity for a successful solution deployment is significantly increased.
