Maintenance Contracts
The best way to ensure your IT infrastructure stays healthy is through routine monitoring and maintenance. Sentinel’s highly trained staff, state-of-the-art NOC & SOC facilities, along with decades of outstanding customer service are just a few of the factors that make us an ideal maintenance and support provider for your organization. We offer flexible maintenance contracts structured to fit your specific needs no matter how diverse they might be.
Sentinel performs a full on-site audit for certain maintenance contracts to document all of the included hardware and systems. Each covered device is logged by system brand, model number, and serial number, then affixed with a bar code so our technicians can properly identify and track it.
All members of Sentinel’s support team undergo rigorous training and manufacturer-mandated certification testing before they are authorized to provide service on products from any vendors we work with. Those maintenance and support certifications are included as part of Sentinel's 2,400+ individual certifications from our partners. Click here to learn more about our Qualifications.
