Description:

Hardware Maintenance Break/Fix:

• Provide multi-vendor hardware maintenance and support for desktops, laptops, and associated equipment.
• Hardware maintenance services will be provided by dedicated on-site or dispatched engineers with the relevant skills and customer training.

Deskside Software Support:

• For software support issues not resolved by the Service Desk, Deskside Software Support (DSS) will be dispatched as needed.
• When DSS is required, a Supplier engineer with the appropriate skill level will be sent to the end user location to perform software diagnosis and problem resolution.

• Handle customer-specific asset management where applicable.
