New Online Support Tool Coming Soon
Beginning in May 2004 we will be launching Incident-Based Telephone Support Contracts (IBTSC), an online tool that will allow you to see how, when and for what purposes your customers are using their contracts. 

Why is this important to you? Selling support is only half the battle. Once your customers have purchased products and support, you always should be looking for opportunities to sell them more! With the new IBTSC system, you will be able to understand exactly what issues your customers are having. You'll be able to offer additional support and product solutions before they even pick up the phone. As soon as a customer opens or closes an incident, you'll be notified so you can engage your customer from the onset of the issue. 

Stay up-to-date on the contracts you sell your customers and how they are using them! Look for more information on IBTSC coming soon.

New Enhancements to the 
Customer Partner Program in 2004!

A new way to use Universal Vouchers. 
The addition of Incident-based Telephone Support Contracts will allow members of our Customer Partner Program to provide additional support to your customers, with no out-of-pocket expense, increasing your margin.

How this program works...

  • Universal Vouchers can be used for a 3-incident standard 8x5 business day contract. (Value of $1,095)
  • Support contract term is six months.
  • Support contracts are for use by end-users only.
  • Universal Vouchers cannot be used for renewals of existing support contracts.
  • Universal Vouchers cannot be used to extend the terms or incidents of existing support contracts.
  • Universal Vouchers cannot be used for the purchase of additional 3-incident contracts for the same end-user.

Contact your AltTech account manager for more information on support contracts, or to get enrolled in the Customer Partner Program today!
