“The added value can come from professional services such as integrating, customizing, consulting, training and implementation. The value can also be added by developing a specific application for the product designed for the customer’s needs which is then resold as a new package. Customers would purchase the system from the reseller if they lacked the time or experience to assemble the system themselves.”
