EMS is now available to clients outside of ePlus Managed Services who seek faster problem resolution, greater visibility, and reduced risk for maintenance support

 

HERNDON, VA – May 10, 2017 – ePlus inc. (NASDAQ NGS: PLUSnews), an engineering-centric technology solutions provider, announced today it will extend availability of EMS to all clients. Previously a value-added benefit only available as part of ePlus Managed Services, EMS will now be made more broadly available to all qualifying clients. The EMS service helps clients improve their device availability and reduce downtime.

“Our clients are looking for better value from their maintenance support services,” said Blake Webber, national practice director at ePlus. “This means effective multi-vendor support from a certified, trusted support partner, access to diagnostic tools that offer faster problem resolution, and an improved support experience at a lower cost. Extending EMS’ reach will help more clients achieve these goals.”

ePlus EMS services offer clients increased service level performance, reduced time to diagnose errors, reduced Mean Time to Resolution (MTTR), and seamless escalation to Level 3 manufacturer support. By leveraging ePlus nationwide support centers, diagnostic tools, and knowledge base, ePlus’ experienced engineers provide 98% resolution for Level 1 and Level 2 support issues coupled with timely vendor-specific reports that correlate supported products with lifecycle and field notice alerts. The services are certified and fully backed by ePlus’ leading manufacturer partners, including Cisco, NetApp, and Pure Storage. Capabilities include:

  • Single-call support for multi-vendor environments
  • U.S.-based 365x24x7 customer care
  • Automated diagnostic and support capabilities
  • Device health and availability monitoring
  • End-of-life and end-of-support details
  • Software updates
  • Maintenance renewal, inventory, and support contract details
  • Product security alerts

“Helping our clients keep their IT environments highly available without the need for dedicated staff frees them to focus on innovation,” said Kevin Detsch, SVP of emerging and advanced solutions at ePlus. “Features such as single-call support from U.S.-based customer care centers and proactive, automated alerts help clients stay abreast of pending contracts renewals, end-of-life or end-of-support details, and software updates.  These value-added services not only improve the support experience, but help clients achieve the business outcomes they desire..”
