Technology Assessment Services (TAS)For unbiased technical explanations, evaluations and recommendations regarding popular or emerging software and services, turn to Technology Assessment Services (TAS) at Insight. The certified TAS engineers are available to find solutions from both new and popular software publishers. We’re able to evaluate products that fall under our core competency areas by utilizing a lab equipped with multiple servers for testing software products. Using our test results, TAS creates product evaluation guides which may help when deciding which product best suits your technology needs.
For help in uncovering the best solution options, you should engage with the TAS Engineers at the pre-sales stage by either sending detailed solution requirements via e-mail to TAS@insight.com, or request participation in a conference call between TAS, Sales and the Client.
Since Insight does not represent any one specific software publisher, we are uniquely positioned to provide you with objective, factual information on the technical aspects of any software application that falls within our core competency areas.
