    I am truly impressed with Service Express's customer service and knowledge. They explained everything in detail and answered all my questions. When there were things they could not help us with, they offered comparable options. They were very flexible on giving us time and working with us as we re-did the things we were needing. They were very patient with us throughout the whole process.

    Service Express has made it easier for us to keep our legacy hardware past the OEM support contract. When it comes time to renew most of our purchases we usually check first with Service Express to see if they can cover it. Once implemented, we have found their engineers and inventory more than adequate to meet our day to day needs for support.

    The transition to ServiceExpress was seamless. Once everything was onboarded, support continued as it should with no interruptions. Service delivery has been top notch, with minimal extensions past SLAs. The account team has been upfront with any issues that developed and track down the root cause and made corrections to make sure there was a low likelihood of a similar instance occurring. I highly recommend them for Third-Party maintenance.

Data Centre Maintenance FAQ

Third-party maintenance (TPM) is an alternative solution to traditional Cisco, Dell EMC, HPE, IBM and other OEM maintenance options. You are able to use TPM for warranty, post-warranty, gap and end of life (EOL) and end of support life (EOSL) for your server, storage, network and software support. Third-party support can help you significantly reduce maintenance spending, strategically extend hardware lifecycles, maintain productivity and more.

The OEM business model relies heavily on new product sales and solutions which demand research and development budgets, cutting edge technology, and a large team of developers. OEMs also shoulder much greater overhead and legacy costs.

We operate differently. Our focus is on helping IT professionals optimise their investment in OEM equipment and solutions as effectively and as long as possible, according to current and future needs. With decades of experience, a database of equipment insights, stringent inventory processes, advanced automation technologies, a robust supply chain and more, we are better able to control our costs. We pass savings directly to our customers without compromising on service or innovation.

Our engineers are equipped with the knowledge, parts inventory strategy, and advanced tools to meet, if not exceed, OEM engineer capabilities.

High service expectations are the norm as our engineers deliver multiplatform support in data centres worldwide. Technical expertise is built through experience in the field and annual training in our Aces Technical Academy. Additional engineer resources include our extensive Support Knowledge Base, regional Learning Labs for specialised hands on training, data-driven service insights, and level three support from our Field Technical Operations team whenever needed.

The advantage of a dedicated primary and secondary engineer for your account brings consistency and a partnership mindset to meet your service and business needs.
