Why Do I Need A Planned Maintenance Service Agreement (PMSA)?
To budget for fixed costs. Most manufacturers offer at least a 1
year warranty. Beyond the hardware, who pays the labor
required to identify simple malfunctions from truly faulty parts,
and then professionally remove, (without voiding the manufacturer's
warranty), while directly dealing with the manufacturer?
Unfortunately the manufacturer's warranty does not cover these
services. They certainly won't pay a service company to perform this
duty on your behalf.
How much does it cost?
PMSA's start at just $3.00 per port. With a PMSA, you are ensured that your phone system is never down for
long and you will never have to pay for a replacement part when a
failure is experienced through normal use. In addition, common
service
practices, such as moves, adds, and changes are provided at a
discounted rate.
PMSA entitlements:
- Free Part Replacement - Parts need to be replaced periodically. If your telecom equipment experiences failure during normal use we will replace it and install it for free. Now your phone system can be fully insured.
- Priority Status - All contracted maintenance customers receive priority status for parts and services over non-contracted customer's. In addition, all service under a maintenance agreement has a guaranteed response time. Your system will always have guaranteed immediate support.
- Discounted Services - Contracted maintenance customers receive discounted rates for services not covered under a maintenance contract such as moves, adds and changes of new and existing equipment.
- 4-hour Required Response Time - For all
major outages you're contract guarantees you a 4 hour response
time so you're system can never be down for long.

Authorized Repair Services, complete phone system coverage
Adaptive Communications is an Authorized Dealer of ESI, NEC DSX and Panasonic DBS telecommunications products and services. As an Authorized Dealer, Adaptive Communications can professionally inspect and remove faulty equipment without voiding a manufacturer's warranty. A maintenance agreement covers the labor service costs on top of the manufacturers warranty for the first year. Any extended service agreement beyond this period will then continue to cover the service labor as well as the parts after the manufacturers warranty expires. If the parts are already over a year old, or were purchased from another provider, Adaptive Communications can still provide a service agreement to cover the cost of parts and service labor.
So, why take risks when you can have priority premium service with full coverage on the cost of parts and labor?
