IT Maintenance Services Capabilities

Shyft boasts in-warranty through end-of-life service programs to maintain your customers’ technology lifecycle needs. We care about your and your customers’ best interests and deliver exceptional service through our maintenance and support programs. Stay closer to your customers with our single support solution within a multi-vendor environment. No matter what technology your customers use to operate their IT ecosystem, we have engineers who are trained to work on it. If you think you need to do it all, think again.

Infrastructure Software Support

As your authorized maintenance provider, Shyft has the expertise to diagnose issues at the application layer and recommend repairs, patches and fixes. Our engineers look below the hardware level to find underlying issues. Software analysis allows us to understand the full scope of your customers’ maintenance needs, including:

  • Application maintenance
  • Software updates
Hardware Maintenance

Unauthorized third-party maintenance providers can compromise the integrity of your hardware solutions and pose a risk to you and your end users. Shyft provides certified and trained experts in your technology, so you can trust that your customers are receiving the same level of quality in products and services as if you were offering it directly yourself. Our IT hardware maintenance capabilities include:

  • Spare parts management — consigned or Shyft-owned
  • Forward and central part stocking options
  • RMA management
  • Multiple omni-channel communication options
  • White-glove service programs
  • Low- or no-cost hard drive retention (DMR)
  • 24x7 onsite response
  • 24x7 global technical assistance center and help desk
Renewals

Recapturing, retaining and recertifying your existing customers is one of Shyft's goals when maintaining IT infrastructures. Our technicians are close to your technology, and we’re close to you. Without expert maintenance, your customers may switch to a third-party maintenance provider for extended warranty support, so Shyft turns this risk into real opportunity by extending and expanding warranty with additional high-value capabilities, such as:

  • Analytics and reporting
  • Warranty monitoring
  • Proactive support contract positioning and sales

Support

In today’s multi-vendor IT environment, unifying support under one roof is almost mandatory. Provide the support services your customers need through Shyft's Global Technical Assistance Center (GTAC), which can take support operations off your hands with a 24x7x365 infrastructure staffed by a centralized team of service delivery experts. Our services include Level 1, 2 and 3 technical and helpdesk support.

  • 24x7x365 Global Technical Assistance Center
  • Helpdesk services
  • Server, network device and storage device support
  • Software support
  • White-label support programs
  • Delivery management
  • Reporting

Reimagine Your IT Maintenance Services Strategy

Maintain complete control of the IT asset lifecycle — from design to disposal and everywhere in between. Shyft provides your customers with unmatched expertise delivered by highly trained engineers. This ultimately relieves you of managing multiple third-party maintenance providers and decreases the risk of unauthorized activities, such as the installation of third-party parts, which could pose safety, security and economic risk to you and your end users. We help ensure your brand and customers are protected at every stage of the technology lifecycle.
