If the network struggles, you struggle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Naturally, you want to keep your network in top shape, and to do that, you need IT resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What you might not know is that Cables and Kits now offers the exact support your networking hardware needs in order to thrive. As industry experts in all things networking, we\u2019re proud to offer this new service as the ultimate solution to networking support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We call it CK Care, and it\u2019s worth a few minutes of your day to learn exactly how it works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is Third Party Maintenance?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>CK Care is a third-party maintenance (TPM) support option for businesses of various sizes. What exactly does that mean?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s an option for you to outsource care for your IT hardware. This includes networking equipment and other devices that you depend on for daily activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One way or another, that hardware needs support, whether it\u2019s in the form of helping your personnel use it correctly, performing routine maintenance to keep everything in top shape, or taking care of acute repairs when equipment runs into trouble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A single CK Care contract can cover all of that. You can consolidate hardware support into a single service agreement, making IT management that much easier and providing you with more resources and reliability for your hardware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Does It Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>TPM is designed to make life simple. In order to get started with CK Care, you can contact us for a quote. We\u2019ll get back to you with a detailed contract. You can explore it and discuss it with us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have a perfected service plan, you get the support you need, when you need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s it. We handle maintenance schedules, hardware management, repairs, help desk support, and more. Best of all, we can service a wide range of equipment from various manufacturers all on this one contract. Consolidating your resources like this makes IT management that much easier, and it comes with a ton of additional benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Can It Do for You?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you work with us for your TPM support, you can expect to come out ahead. A handful of key benefits can save you money and empower your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Flexible Support<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you don\u2019t have TPM, you often have a unique support agreement with each manufacturer for your hardware. That gets expensive quickly, and it\u2019s difficult to manage. What if a part of your network goes down? Should you call the manufacturer for your switch, cables, computer, or someone else? With CK Care, you just call us, and we handle it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fast Responses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Because you always know who to call, you can expect faster response times as well. We provide you with a hotline to call, and when problems arise, we address them immediately. This minimizes downtime related to hardware issues and helps you run your business smoothly and without disruption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trusted Experts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You already trust Cables and Kits to supply you with the best in networking hardware. Who is better equipped to maintain that hardware?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With CK Care, you get direct access to industry experts who are devoted to keeping your business running and your hardware operational. We can offer you expert advice on business planning, service schedules, and anything else you need to know about your networking hardware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Coverage for All Equipment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>OEM coverage has a shelf life, and it usually expires long before you plan to retire your equipment. TPM can extend as long as you want. So, if you want to make the most of the equipment you\u2019ve had for a while, and if you want to hang on to your new hardware for as long as possible, CK Care is the way to go. We can support hardware indefinitely, expanding your options and providing yet another way to save money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Improving the Bottom Line<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>CK Care is designed to keep your hardware in great shape. That minimizes how much you have to spend on replacement equipment. We also consolidate this support into a single service contract. With simplified, comprehensive coverage, you get the support you need while spending less money on it. The savings compound on themselves, helping your bottom line and providing peace of mind, all at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any interest in excellent third-party support,&nbsp;<strong><u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cablesandkits.com\/c\/third-party-maintenance\">contact us today<\/a><\/u><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additional Learning Center Resources<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cablesandkits.com\/c\/third-party-maintenance\"><strong><u>CK Care: Third Party Maintenance<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your business network is critical to daily operations and your general success.
