Overview
Remote hands services: equipment installation and decommissioning, cable management, power cycling, visual inspections, media handling, and basic troubleshooting.
Key Concepts
Remote hands: Physical tasks performed by provider staff. Smart hands: More advanced remote hands including basic configuration. SLA: Response time commitments. Escorted access: Customer staff accompanied by provider staff.
Best Practices
Define clear scope for remote hands tasks. Establish response time SLAs. Require photo documentation of completed tasks. Verify that remote hands staff are trained and background-checked.
Key Considerations
Remote hands staff have physical access to your equipment — verify security controls. Some tasks should be performed by customer staff, not remote hands. Establish clear communication procedures.
