Data Center Maintenance
IT professionals deserve a level of service based on a foundation of trust, reliability, technical expertise and partnership. Yet IT teams continue to settle for data center support that doesn’t meet their needs or expectations.
After years of poor communication, missed service level agreements (SLAs) and delayed repairs, IT leaders at a national healthcare provider decided it was time for a change. In searching for a maintenance solution to improve service quality, flexibility and savings for over 60 hospital data centers throughout the U.S., the company partnered with Service Express.
Challenges Uncovered
Inconsistent service and unsatisfactory customer support from maintenance providers
After initial conversations, it became clear IT leaders were unhappy with their support due to frequent complications, including:
- Lack of communication and status updates from engineers regarding critical problems requiring immediate fixes
- Inability to deliver parts within desired time frames
- Slow engineer responses and parts delays at remote locations resulting in unacceptable levels of downtime
- Long response times and frequent repair mistakes raised concerns regarding onsite engineers’ technical expertise
“Our account teams have never told us ‘we can’t do that.’ The answer has always been ‘we’ll find some way to make that happen.'”
