Firstly, you'd probably want provide, but I hate provide. And provide doesn't really work, either. Basically, we eliminate the requirements by doing them ourselves but the way we have this structured, I can't use eliminates.

If I were to rewrite it it would say:

"(Product) Solutions covers all operational and maintenance requirements".


That's proper but I don't want to use 'covers' and can't think of a better word. I know yinz guys are wordsmithy...any ideas?
Why would you not just ask jammies? You know how to get a hold of him...

No joke. Could you explain what you feel I am missing?

Any reference to DBZ deserves a thanks in my book

my pet peeve is the use of jargon such as operational - (it is indeed a word but it is business jargon) instead of "operations"
