Ask the Analyst

Are you seeking information and insight regarding office technology industry trends and developments? BTA can help.

Through an alliance with Keypoint Intelligence, BTA members can submit their questions for a Keypoint Intelligence analyst to address. BTA's Ask the Analyst feature is free to the association's dealer members.

Visit the link below, fill out the form to submit your question and a Keypoint Intelligence analyst will respond. Your question and the response you receive will be archived on the BTA website as a resource for other dealer members. See an excerpt from one of the Q&A's below:

Question: I am looking to hire a new analyst [but] I do not know what the minimum level of skill is needed before I hire someone to install my MFPs on a network. What should I look for?

Answer: Essentially, you would be looking for basic network connectivity knowledge. In other words, basic knowledge and understanding of connecting peripherals to networks. CDIA-equivalent certification is a plus, along with any manufacturer connectors training. CompTIA Network+ would also be a bonus, but not necessarily a disqualifier if they do not have this qualification.
