DULLES, VA, NOVEMBER 19, 2010 –Concert Technologies today announced the publication of its Third-Party Independent Verification article in the November/December edition of BICSI News, the leading information technology systems (ITS) association magazine.
This strategic article contains:
Advice to the end user or solution provider on third-party verification for their structured cabling system
How independent verification can add value to the contractor’s proposal
The importance of ensuring the physical and electrical/optical performance of the structured cabling system as installed to TIA-568-C standards
A look at optional warranty programs in comparison to independent verification of your structured cabling system
“You may have procurement requirements for the lowest compliant bidder receiving the award and you may be able to confirm their references, but the issue is not the quality of the contractor during the selection process. The problem may result from the pressure on the contractor from numerous other concurrent jobs during your installation, which causes a lack of skilled labor to provide the quality workmanship you expect,” said Concert Technologies President, Dennis Mazaris. The article titled “Third-Party Independent Verification” is available online in the current edition of BICSI News.
