Frequently asked questions
Good questions to ask before you start.
You don't need to arrive with all the answers. These are some of the questions we can help you work through.
Can you help with software as well as hardware?
Yes. The content, application, device management and support model are just as important as the headset.
Can existing headsets be used?
Often, yes. It depends on the model, operating system, app compatibility, device condition and management requirements.
Are all listed providers formal partners?
No. We distinguish partner relationships from the wider hardware and software ecosystem. Specific relationships can be clarified during a conversation.
Start with the challenge, not the technology.
