Specialist Independent IBM Server Support |
| Peace of mind and typical savings of 30-40% on IBM server maintenance |
|
Our commitment to you is low cost, high quality maintenance.
We have been providing a superior service at prices that are
up to and sometimes over 30-40% less than list price since 1989.
Talk to our customers. Undoubtedly their experiences will
reassure you that time and time again we provide an excellent
service whilst dramatically reducing the prices that they
were paying.
Our business model has value at its core. The on-going success
of our maintenance service is based on excellent engineering
skills and low cost administration with readily accessible
spares. We have recruited the most technically competent engineers
with many years experience of IBM equipment.
Our overheads are low because we refrain from expenditure
in areas where we do not believe there is benefit to you,
the customer. We hope you'll agree the key to a successful
maintenance service is fast response and fast fix times. These
are the areas we have invested in and they are the essential
ingredients for our growing maintenance success.

Response Centres |

Our Customer Response Centres and excellent parts availability
enable fast responses and support rapid fault fixing. Every
attempt is made to fix your computer fault on the first call.
This policy applies to all fault calls from system down calls
to more basic problems. The Support Centre has a full complement
of IBM systems, which enable our engineers to assist customers
with off-site fault investigation of system errors and to
provide a full back-up maintenance facility for our customers.
The Response Desk is operational 24 hours a day, 365 days
a year and our engineers are immediately contactable.

The core business of hardware manufacturers is selling new
equipment. They have fast evolving product portfolios which
often leave customers behind. We specialise in supporting
servers for as long as you the customer require them. We appreciate
the significant investment you have made in your technology
and provide a bridge between the 'end of life' of a product
as far as IBM are concerned and the end of its useful life
to you the customer.

Support |
|
|
|
We offer a complete range of software support for operating
systems AIX and Microsoft. We also provide a practical support
package for AIX versions 4.3.3 and earlier which are no longer
supported by IBM. Our OS Support for AIX can range from ad-hoc
system housekeeping and performance tuning to server monitoring
and management outsourcing.

| Nationwide
Coverage |
|
|
|
We provide nationwide support from our regional service centres.
Each is equipped with a complete spares holding and this can
be supplemented with on-site spares for many customers in
order to ensure fast responses and first time fixes.

| Tailored
Support Packages |
|
|
|
We realise that not everyone is the same; hence many of our
customers opt for different packages across different departments
or machines. Some choose a higher cover package (4 hour response
with 4 hour fix) for servers which are mission critical machines
whilst opting for a lower package (8 hour response) for development
machines. We are always happy to discuss tailoring a support
model to complement the way you work.
