Technology sourcing and integration
Hardware, software and communications technology specified, sourced and integrated around a defined requirement.
What it is
Working out what equipment and software a requirement actually needs, sourcing it, and integrating it into something that works as one system.
This is delivered as an engineering exercise rather than a resale one: the specification comes from the requirement, and the value is in the integration and the handover rather than in the margin on the box.
Typical requirements we are asked about
- A site, vehicle fleet or facility that needs devices, connectivity and a system to make sense of them
- A procurement that mixes hardware, software licensing and integration work in one lot
- Equipment already purchased that does not talk to anything else
- A refresh where the existing supplier is no longer supporting the deployed technology
What Astri Devs delivers
- A written specification tied to the requirement, so options can be compared like for like
- Sourcing against that specification, with the reasoning for each choice recorded
- Integration work so devices, software and existing systems operate as one
- Configuration, commissioning and acceptance testing on handover
- A support position agreed before go-live rather than after the first fault
Typical outputs
- A specification and options appraisal
- Supplied and configured equipment and software licences
- Integration code and configuration, documented
- Commissioning records and an asset list
Engagement approach
Usually a specification and options phase first, then supply and integration as a fixed-scope package. Where a buying organisation has its own purchasing route, Astri Devs specifies and integrates without supplying the equipment.
