Why this decision matters
An operating routine that depends on one unavailable person can fail even when the hardware is functioning.
Work through the actual task
- Prioritise clear closing routines and simple user administration.
- Demonstrate the few everyday tasks the team actually needs.
- Include access changes and incident handling in the staff handover procedure.
Worked example
A small team needs a system they can maintain without a specialist on staff. This is a hypothetical example, not a completed customer installation.
The useful evidence at the end of this example is: A manageable operating procedure and a defined service contact.
Limits and follow-up
Agree a service scope in writing. Hardware supply, cabling, networking, monitoring and response attendance may be priced separately.
If the relevant check cannot be completed, record what remains uncertain and who will resolve it before work or sign-off proceeds.
