Network Questionnaire

For your convenience of both Dataquest and Smartech customers (and to reduce our environmental footprint), we have designed the form below to eliminate our need to print and reproduce hardcopy documents.

To help assist in the seamless integration of our products onto your network environment, please complete this form as accurately as possible and submit it prior to installation. If you have any questions regarding this form please speak to your Dataquest representative or contact our Project Management Team for assistance.

Installations often require us to integrate hardware with print servers, mail exchanges, Active Directory, client PC’s as well install client software tools and utilities. Please therefore confirm that someone with technical expertise / Administration rights on your network will be available on the day of installation for us to confer with.
