• Provide a documented handoff of the agreed scope and assessment findings; functional design, implementation and engineering standards remain with delivery.

Technical sales support and order conversion

• Support direct and indirect sales with technical presentations that build awareness of Rockwell's MPC solutions, differentiate the proposed application, and inform proposal language.
• Present Benefits Studies and business value to operational and business audiences, addressing customer questions, technical objections, and scope clarifications.
• Work with Sales Management to prioritize strategic pursuits and coordinate cross-functional pre-sales activities that advance customer decisions and support quarterly and annual order objectives.
