CDS offers the following services in coordination with our hardware and software offerings.

CDS Support Services

While hardware and software comes with some level of support at no charge, in most cases it is not sufficient for customers providing an enterprise service level of support. Additionally, with hardware each major component of the “system” requires its own support contract. This often means that a customer can have hundreds of such contracts and the associated staff costs to manage them successfully. CDS offers its customers excellent pricing on services contracts and the management of those contracts on behalf of the customer. CDS can consolidate and track support contracts for systems over their complete life-cycle making sure that our customers pay for what they need and cancel services in a timely manner when systems are decommissioned.
