Choosing the Right MFDs
Wymore: Make the RFP documents as clear as possible, [including] your expectations from the new vendor and equipment.
Your Biggest Mistake
Amitrano: Combining rental and service under one agreement. Keep the two separate. Sometimes the machines are not to blame, but the technicians are. There may come a time when you need someone other than the tech provided by your vendor. With a split contract, you may be able to explore alternative service options while continuing lease payments through the original vendor.
