No one likes to pay out for telephone system support cover for their telephone systems as for many people it’s a service they never see the benefits of. However, most businesses start losing money and customers from the moment their phones stop working.
So how can a Telephone System Support Contract save my business?
It’s called a “maintenance” support contract; however, the contract is more of a “faults cover” contract acting as an insurance cover as such to ensure that if you do experience a fault with your phone system at any point, you can log a fault with our service team for resolution within pre-defined response times.
Our telephone system support plans are designed to provide the absolute best cover and support to each and every one of our customers. Below are just a few of the benefits that a Telephone System Maintenance Contract can offer your business.
What does the annual support contract include?
- Avoid lengthy delays in repairs when needed – Guaranteed engineer response time to any faults you log with us, all faults are graded and if you have a fault affecting 50% or more of your system you would expect a guaranteed response of 4 hours for an engineer to working on the resolution. Minor faults tend to be up to 16 working hours for reference.
- Avoid costs for engineering call outs and time – All engineer fault call outs and time spent on or off site are covered with no cost when you have a support contract in place. Without cover a typical call out cost including the first hour spent on-site is £175 with additional engineering time charged at £70 per hour if required.
- Avoid costs for replacement system hardware – If any of the telephone system hardware is deemed faulty then this will be replaced at no cost to you as part of the support. This includes the main telephone system processor and any of the telephone system interface cards included in your phone system.
- Avoid costs for minor programming changes – Every now and then you may wish to make minor programming changes to the way in which your phone system is configured such as extension names as staff change or which phones ring when your main number calls, without a support contract these usually cost approx. £40 per remote programming ticket however if you have a support contract these minor changes are handled for you with a maximum of 5 per annum.
