In our experience, this is more cost effective and less disruptive to end users and ensures shorter downtime. We can supplement this with on-site or traveling staff who can perform maintenance tasks (for example, on printers); in addition, we can cross ship spare computers overnight to end users to do a swap out of equipment when parts are not available or remote diagnostics are not conclusive as to what parts are defective. We successfully provide for many large clients similar services based out of our St. Louis ITC’s Reverse Logistic Facilities. 3.9 USAGE REPORT: The Contractor shall furnish the County a usage report upon request delineating the acquisition activity governed by the Contract.
