This date represents the target for a completed installation, after which the equipment is expected to be ready for use and deliver its intended functions.
The Deployment Date marks the day physical equipment is installed and functioning as intended. If a contract does not include equipment, then it will not have a Deployment Date. The Go-Live date specified on the contract is a separate date which is likely to be later than the Deployment Date. The Go-Live date determines when the business can access IT support, from that date moving forward until the end of the contract term.
