What Is Time and Material Support?

Time and Material is a pay-as-you-go support model billed based on actual labor and parts used. It’s ideal for emergency break/fix, out-of-warranty systems, complex troubleshooting, installations, relocations, and short-term projects.

When to Use Time and Material Support

• Emergency break/fix and critical outages
• Out-of-warranty or end-of-life hardware
• Complex troubleshooting and root cause analysis
• One-time installations, migrations, or moves
• In-house IT teams needing occasional SME assistanc

Where Support Contracts Fit

We switched to Extended Technical Solutions after our OEM costs kept climbing. The difference has been noticeable faster responses, less downtime, and real savings. It just feels more practical.

Honestly, we were hesitant at first, but the transition was smooth. Their team is responsive, and they’ve helped us keep older systems running without pushing upgrades. That’s been a big win for us.

Sarah Collins

Support has been reliable and straightforward. No unnecessary back-and-forth, just quick resolutions when we need them. It’s helped us avoid disruptions and stay focused on operations.
