They are a quintessential component of ongoing support and advanced hardware replacement that every IT department needs. Maintenance contracts from the manufacturer are a necessary component of any organization’s business continuance. But along with all the benefits comes a plethora of hassles for most companies. #### Avoid Complexity Ideally, organizations would have a minimum number of contracts from each manufacturer, with all products sharing a common renewal date. However, the dedication needed to achieve and maintain this Zen-like state of contract renewal is not prevalent among resellers. In fact, TBL has found it common for many organizations to have a contract number for every new purchase, with individual one-year periods of coverage starting from every new purchase date. At best, this results in frequent renewal requests from various resellers multiple times a year that makes budgeting cumbersome. At worst, this continual cycle of multiple purchases and multiple renewals ultimately leads to critical devices experiencing a lapse in support and needless coverage for decommissioned assets. ### “ I would recommend TBL to anyone in need of their services. ” Financial Corporation, IT Director #### **Vanguards of Your Best Interest** At TBL, we are stewards of the contracts our clients entrust us to manage on their behalf. A contract remediation project begins with TBL inventorying all current products in production and reconciling them against the current records of that client’s contracts. A plan is developed to consolidate duplicate contract types into singular master contracts by type, with all items across all contracts synchronized to simultaneously co-terminate coverage. TBL tracks every item on every contract via our proprietary salesforce.com instance, delivering this data directly to our Customer Portal. ### Recent Posts ![theblinkylight](https://blog.tblnetworks.com/hubfs/Theblinkylight_June2019/Images/Logo-Button-Footer.png) [  1600 forest ave    Richmond, VA 23229](https://goo.gl/maps/ENAeJFt5P132) [  (804) CALL-TBL](tel:(804)%20822-3640) [  (877) CALL-TBL](tel:(877)%20822-3640) - [Home](https://www.theblinkylight.com/) - [About Us](https://www.theblinkylight.com/about-us/) - [Team](https://www.theblinkylight.com/about-us/our-team/) - [Partners](https://www.theblinkylight.com/about-us/partners-certifications/) - [Solutions](https://www.theblinkylight.com/solutions/) - [As a Service](https://www.theblinkylight.com/limelight-pcaas/) - [Case Studies](https://www.theblinkylight.com/solutions/case-studies/) - [Contact Us](https://www.theblinkylight.com/contact/) ## Connect With Us - © 2019 TBL Networks - All Rights Reserved. - [Contact](https://www.theblinkylight.com/contact) - [Sitemap](https://www.theblinkylight.com/sitemap) - [Privacy Policy](https://www.theblinkylight.com/privacy-policy) - [Terms of Service](https://www.theblinkylight.com/terms-of-service) ![](https://px.ads.linkedin.com/collect/?pid=945908&fmt=gif) ![](https://px.ads.linkedin.com/collect/?pid=1656338&fmt=gif)
