- Responding to the posting of seymour@milton.u.washington.edu (Richard
- Seymour) :
-
- I have no experience with DEC support and am not in HP Support
- Marketing, so I don't know if I can really compare apples to apples, but
- from your descriptions I conclude that we have very similar services and
- do one point just different, not worse or better. Since I do not know
- which other, i.e. besides the ones you mentioned, services DEC has, I
- can not say that we are better.
-
- Here it goes:
-
- DEC HP
- === ==
- Software Dispatch Software Status/Release Bulletin
- DSIN HP SupportLine
- Self Maintenance Binary Distribution BasicLine (every two months)
- Software Performance Report Software/Documentation Problem Report
- emergency bugs, local DEC office (Customer) Response Center
- tracking system same (TRAK) at Response Center
-
- With regard to HP requesting serial numbers, etc. for making a quote
- for a service contract: The information is on the packing list(s). Also a
- reference to the purchase order number(s) will do. We need this
- information because nothing withholds a customer from "relocating"
- and/or selling his/her equipment. So we might know what we sold to a
- particular user in a particular company, but that is no guarantee that
- (s)he still has this stuff and that (s)he does not have any additional
- stuff. So because we can not know for sure, we ask. Of course the HP
- person asking for this information should (be able to) explain why (s)he
- needs this information.
