Common IT Maintenance Issues
60-70% of quotes received from suppliers have an error of some description. This can be for a variety of reasons but most commonly it is because the kit isn’t being managed efficiently and the channel of communication isn’t open between the end user and the vendor.
IT departments tend to be fast paced and support contracts do not tend to fall under one person’s job description. As a result of this, and the time constraints that are associated with support contracts, orders are placed without being checked, often leading to potential over-charging while trying to avoid dreaded reinternment fees.
A common, costly mistake that can often occur is when serials on support contacts are forgotten or obsolete serials are left on. This can be a result of replacing parts due to failures and not informing the OEM of the new serial. A serial number being left off can mean a critical piece of kit is not supported
As different pieces of kit require varying levels of cover, if these aren’t checked it can lead to your mission-critical kit not getting the support it needs, or you end up paying for support that is too high on some items.
Why You Need a Dedicated Renewals Manager?

Most organisations don’t have dedicated personnel responsible for renewals management within an organisation. This often leads to reduced visibility on upcoming renewals which can have detrimental effects on your organisation.
Organisation’s without a structured renewals manager/system are at risk of;
- Losing vital support through missed renewal date
- Incurring reinstatement fees
- Inaccurate budgetary forecasting
- Making errors due to the varied vendor processes and procedures
