MAINTENANCE SERVICES DMC partner with the UK s renowned BT to deliver exceptional value-added services designed to optimise the availability of IT services, blending dedicated on-site, mobile and remote systems and software support capabilities to provide the optimum combination of service to match any client's requirements. Fault incident resolution services are delivered through a nationwide mobile service team, complemented by remote diagnostic facilities to deliver high levels of first touch resolution and system recovery. The following table outlines some of the maintenance service targets available from DMC Software Solutions. These are the standard offerings which meet the majority of client's requirements. The "Fix" will be achieved utilising whatever methods are required, i.e. by phone, by supply of a client replaceable unit (i.e. mouse, keyboard) or by an IT service engineer site visit. Fix Level Target Descriptions 4 Hours - The fault incident will be fixed within four business hours*. 8 Hours - The fault incident will be fixed within eight business hours. 16 Hours - The fault incident will be fixed within sixteen business hours. * In order to meet this service level dedicated spares may be held at strategic IT locations or client premises TotalCare Maintenance Services is predicated upon achieving a fix within the target times shown above. Where IT services are critical to a client's business, this is a much more valuable commitment than the more common guarantee of a response only. In the event of hardware failure and the operating system being affected, our BT service includes a re-installation, subject to the client having the available media and licenses on site. All service requests can be raised by clients via email or telephone which will be directed to our Helpdesk. Incidents are then technically vetted, before being passed to Logistics Planning and Field Service Planning to ensure engineers and parts are despatched as required to meet the Fix Level within the contracted service commitment. The engineer will fix the unit on-site wherever possible. If this cannot be achieved we will exchange the unit to provide a loan of equivalent or better specification within the fix time and client equipment will be returned to the IT workshop for repair. Call centre agents manage each call throughout, updating the client or Helpdesk as necessary with progress on the call.
