Introducing our new Router Provisioning Service

We’ve added a new feature to ProSys! Thanks to our latest developments, we are now able to offer a router provisioning service on our new TR-069 provisioning platform, enabling you to ship routers directly to your customers’ site ready to work out-of-the-box.

Enjoy your first provisioning on us!

Our new service is so good, we’d like you to try it for free*! From now until the end of September 2017 we’re offering free provisioning when you purchase any of our routers. We’ll work with you to create your individual provisioning template free of charge – meaning you’ll be up and running for all of your future orders. To get started call us on 01484 840048 or email contact@provu.co.uk.

*Please note: Free provisioning is only available between selected dates and is limited to 1 per company. To qualify, your company must not have used router provisioning before. Router and delivery are chargeable.

6 Facts about ProSys Provisioning

ITSPA recently published a revised version of their recommendations for provisioning security – having been offering our own provisioning service for over 13 years, this is something we know a lot about. In-fact we often work with many of the world’s leading manufacturers and industry regulators to ensure their hardware provisioning capabilities are meeting industry standards and provide a secure provisioning method. But what makes our provisioning different from the rest – here’s 6 facts about ProSys Provisioning.

1. Our provisioning platform is not limited to select vendors or devices, we can provision an array of hardware from a variety of manufacturers – see our full list of provisionable devices here.

2. Our provisioning platform is developed in-house by our development team, they’re experts in the field of secure automatic provisioning.

3. Where possible, we use the recommended protocol, ‘HTTPS with factory installed client certificates’ as outlined in ITSPA’s latest guidelines and we have been doing so for years!

4. We make provisioning simple – our pricing structure is based on your requirements per device, meaning you only pay for what you need.

5. Providing it’s compatible, our provisioning server will accept adoptions, so if you have hardware deployed and registered to another server, we can help you to move it over to ours.

6. Post deployment, you can utilise our Management tool to take care of your provisioned items from the comfort of your own desk – read more about ProSys Management here.

Zero-touch provisioning offers many benefits to ITSP and reseller partners. With just a few details, we can ship hardware direct to your end-user customer ready to work out-of-the-box for next day delivery – saving you both time and money. More details on our provisioning services can be seen here. To see ITSPA’s revised guidelines, download ‘Recommendations for Device Provisioning Security (Version 2)’.

Using our product images on your website

We quite often receive requests from resellers who want to use the product images of the kit we supply on their own website.

We host different sized images and product datasheets for lots of the products we sell, these are stored logically using our product part codes, this means they can be easily accessed and pulled for use on your website.

It’s pretty simple really!

We have produced a guide for programmers which will explain everything you need to know so you can start integrating images into your own website.

Download the guide here: Using ProVu’s product images

We try our best to store images for all of our products, but if there is anything that you come across that is missing and you would like to access, please let us know and we will do our best to add the images to our library.
