How can We help
TRANSACTIONAL IT SUPPORT SOLUTIONS
Today businesses are finding providing reliable and cost-effective hardware maintenance to support rapid repairs across there estates increasing challenging. Whilst many upgrades can be managed remotely; there is still a high level of requirement for reliable hands-on’ support on-site.
The breadth of equipment used across most workplaces makes it virtually impossible to keep spares on-site, let alone employ skilled engineering staff to perform these repairs.
When our clients cannot fix the issue remotely and need a physical engineer visit, we can provide engineers on a dispatch ticket for a specific issue or for longer durations such as, part-time, full-time or to provide backfill for their own engineers.

How do Channel partners add value?
Channel partners provide a range of service which allowing their customer so focus on developing their core competency without having to invest time and money in peripheral activities, such as system maintenance, distribution or installation.
If manufacturers perform these services without the support of channel partners, they could lose focus on their core competency and slow their growth. For example, if, rather than appoint global technical services partners to deliver maintenance and support to their warranty customers, decided to provide this service themselves. Not only would the investment be significant, but the ability to offer services globally would take considerable time to develop.
