In the current context of the UEFA Euro Championship, we can’t help thinking about football. What we do at Evernex is like playing the “second half” in a critical football match. On 11 July 2021, we will know who can call themselves the European Football Champions. And we are on the edge of our seats!
Football and IT
Fortunately, we are already familiar with the name of the European champion for third-party maintenance (TPM).
Evernex is the European market leader in Third-Party Maintenance. We are present in over 165 countries. And have broad expertise in multi-vendor IT hardware and data center infrastructure Thus, we can support international ‘players’ with offices all around the globe.
Our services focus on prolonging the lifecycle of your IT infrastructure. We do this with hardware maintenance and spare parts management. In this way, we add a beneficial “second half” to your IT equipment.
Football and IT rules
In our opinion, the football and IT game follow similar rules. Discover why this can be game-changing for your business:
Rule #1: Every minute matters
The first similarity in Football and IT rules is “Every minute matters”. As seen throughout the course of the past Euro matches, a lot can happen in the second half. The score is not final until the game has ended! This is also true for your IT infrastructure.
Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) only offer support for hardware in data centres for the first few years. And even during this “first half”, TPM service providers can cost-effectively support your IT. But who would end a football match after the first half?
Evernex support services enables you to optimise your IT server, storage and networking hardware to ensure a secure and reliable “second half” performance beyond manufacturer warranties and indeed, even into extra time.
This will enable your organisation to cut back on IT spend. This can be rechannelled into other business priorities, such as: digital transformation, upgrading mission-critical infrastructure, improve return on investment and drive sustainability.
Rule #2: No time for injuries
The second similarity in Football and IT rules is “No time for injuries”. A team needs all its players in top shape before, during and even after an injury. So it can ensure excellent performance and the best possible outcome during a football game.
Working closely with critical infrastructure, Evernex multi-vendor maintenance engineers are like the physiotherapist running onto the pitch. Their support expertise ensures the ‘player’ to quickly restore and fit for purpose. So the team can continue with their usual formation and operations can resume.
And if the player needs to go off, TPM providers like Evernex, ensure that a replacement part is quickly brought onto the pitch. In this way we can maximize uptime for our customers.
Rule #3: A first-class bench
The third similarity in Football and IT rules is “A first-class bench”. Football is not just about eleven men. Sometimes players get seriously injured and then a strong, fit replacement is needed. Evernex has the Number One multi-vendor spare parts inventory in Europe. With over 850, 000 spare parts available in 330+ forward-stocking locations worldwide. So we can offer an impressive substitutes’ bench for every on-premises or data center environment.
And if there is a disruption, Evernex ensures that defective hardware components are repaired or replaced in a timely manner. This is to reduce operational risks, while increasing peace of mind.
As in football, the success of a company depends on a robust strategy, strong execution and superior performance. We, therefore, think that multi-vendor maintenance from a quality TPM provider like Evernex should be an integral part of your game plan!
