If you’re like most network operators, your support model involves different processes, SLAs, and communication with multiple vendors. That can make it tough to identify which equipment needs support. Our solution gives you a trusted single point of contact to avoid this pitfall.

You can choose from multiple models:

Single contract

Replace your multiple individual maintenance contracts and OEM agreements with a single contract. Our multivendor maintenance solution provides you with the full range of maintenance services.

Hybrid

We also offer our multivendor maintenance solution as part of a hybrid model where some of your OEM contracts remain. In this case, we acts as your agent and work with your other vendors when needed. This simplifies your management requirements and reduces your overhead.

Optimizing your multivendor maintenance is critical to customer retention. By optimizing support across the network, you can assure the availability of new services and cost-competitive operations. And that will keep your subscribers happy and avoid churn.
