Re ognize any of these
situations?
• You wait more than 30
minutes to get through to a
vendor’s te h support.
• The so- alled “te h” an’t
help you or gives you the
wrong answer.
• You don’t have a pur hase
order number and the te h
refuses to help you.
• It’s 9 p. m. and you need help,
but your vendor’s te h
support line is losed.
A ording to a survey by Data
Communi ations magazine, 90%
of network managers surveyed
say that getting the te hni al
support they need is extremely
important when hoosing a
vendor. But even though network
managers pay anywhere from 10
to 20% of their overall pur hase
pri e for a basi servi e and
support ontra t, the te hni al
support and servi e they re eive
falls far short of their
expe tations—and ertainly isn’t
worth what they paid.
