CP Thesaurus Help
Hey CPers, I tried to Thesaurus but couldn't come up with a good substitute. I'm having a hard time editing this sentence for a brochure:
"(Product) Solutions provides all operational and maintenance requirements"
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?

"(Product) Solutions manages all operational and maintenance requirements."
Or if you really want to get buzz wordy:
"(Product) Solutions takes ownership of all operational and maintenance requirements."

(Product) Solutions masters your puny operational and maintenance requirements with a mere fraction of our awe-inspiring might, while meanwhile, in his secret underwater lair, Our Competitor yet again plots to deceive you with his inferior, laughably inept product line.

Would it work to reverse the order? Some words previously discarded may sound better if the order is reversed.
For instance:
Operational and maintenance requirements are/can be (achieved) *[at power levels over 9000]* through the use of services provided by (Product) Solutions?

Assumed you edited it to be more business appropriate before sending it out.
But if boss likes power over 9000, that's ok too.
