We’ve just read a study showing that 50% of U.S. IT departments are currently relying on Independent Hardware Maintenance for post-warranty IT hardware to drive hardware OpEx downward. Another 20% of respondents aren’t currently doing so, but intend to deeply explore the concept in 2021. While significant cost reductions are triggering interest, your data center and networking teams need NOT experience sub-par service quality from independent providers.
Our industry niche, sometimes called “Third Party Maintenance (TPM providers),” has evolved greatly over the last 10 years. As a result, every day we hear stories of dissatisfaction from those that chose one of the larger independent providers, or selected simply on “lowest price.” We’ve heard from service buyers, “Well, I suppose we’re getting what we’ve paid for. This vendor is one of the largest, so our experience must be typical.” To that, we ask openly, “What methods did you use to properly vet these vendors?” And, “Why pay to be dissatisfied?”
