As stated in Question 43, our experience is that many <br />customers choose the standard OEM warranty for their purchase. Which is fine. In <br />instances where the OEM warranty isn't sufficient, CDW•G offers competitive solutions <br />to augment the OEM's warranty to minimize risk and ensure ongoing performance. <br />Included in our portfolio: <br />Warranty extensions and upgrades <br />Post warranty support <br />Accidental damage protection <br />Maintenance Contracts <br />Post -sale technical support <br />Product and certification training <br />Onsite repair <br />Help desk services <br />Additionally, understanding best -value procurement does not stop at the sale, CDW•G <br />keeps the communications lines open with our customers to be sure the warranties <br />they hold continue to meet their needs.
