GLOBAL BUSINESS CONSIDERATIONS

BEST PRACTICES FOR GLOBAL DEPLOYMENTS

Key factors for navigating organizational objectives, compliance, technology selection and supply chain resiliency.

Selecting the right partner will help you develop best practices to speed and streamline project deployment.

BUSINESS PLANNING, through shared documentation to stakeholders of defined technology and deployment solutions, establishes rules of engagement with review cycles and cost savings analyses to meet agreed objectives.

GLOBAL SUPPLIER partners that have a worldwide presence and trained local manufacturer-certified contractors, help to adopt a consistent approach for international transactions, product standardization and deployment through a global distribution partner network.

FINANCIAL RISK mitigation can limit financial exposure and improve working capital by actively managing exchange rate volatility and currency transactions through the use of multicountry credit facilities.

SKILLED LABOR networks of authorized contractors, installers and integrators can improve project outcomes for compressed schedules and comply with your enterprise specifications.

PROCUREMENT METRICS leverage supplier rationalization, deliver transactional efficiencies and provide visibility of both direct and indirect spend.

TECHNOLOGY ADVISORS that assist in product selection, application design, site assessments and education can help with technology roadmapping and improving ROI.

GLOBAL PRICING versus project pricing offers a strategic approach that enables improved commercial coordination, corporate compliance and specific contract terms with service level and budget expectations.

GLOBAL SOURCING and inventory management offer supplier standardization, alternative product selection, inventory pre-provisioning and just-in-time material management services for faster, more efficient deployments.

POLITICAL SITUATIONAL AWARENESS helps to navigate and optimize material management related to international sanctions, government embargoes, importation costs and country-specific commercial regulations.

SUPPLY CHAIN logistics and global material management address product specifications, local restrictions, expediting, environmental compliance, importation administration, taxes, tariffs, fees and insurance, removing the burden from the integrator and/or end user.

LEGAL FRAMEWORKS and existing contracts, which recognize local legal entities that comply with in-country requirements, encompass preparation, administration and support for supplier agreements, purchase order terms and project-specific scope of works.

VALUE-ADDED services, beyond single cost of product, deliver value through installation enhancement, project deployment and supply chain programs to save time, improve productivity, increase profitability and mitigate risk.
