What is really involved with AVL integration?
In short, system design, configuration, installation, testing, acceptance, and support. These tasks require skilled professionals and as such incur costs. As much as everybody would like a “shrink wrapped” system, it rarely happens. The problem lies with the fact that everybody has their own definition of what AVL is supposed to do for them and how it will work. The best way to keep integration costs to a minimum is to have a very focused project scope – don’t implement functionality that you don’t need. It’s always a good idea to have people on your staff that understand the technology.
