No system ever works perfectly the first time it is implemented.  Testing and troubleshooting are a necessary part of the process to iron out installation issues or debug programming.  Typically different members of the project team are responsible for addressing specific issues that are identified, but is someone available for the overall performance? This is where Control Concepts comes in.

The frustration of inconsistent operation or poor performance can be avoided if the issues are identified during the implementation of the system rather than after the system is deemed “ready for use.”  Far too often improper system testing and the last of an effective punchlist causes projects to be ineffective because the exceed deadlines, overrun budgets, and do not function properly.

Technology managers, consultants, and integrators should consider the value of hiring a third party to commission their systems to identify open items and ensure performance standards are met.
