A standard product warranty on hardware is often insufficient to cover the periods that a business requires to get the full life-cycle value out of their hardware and equipment. On the opposite end of the spectrum, replacement of malfunctioning equipment or parts broken in the normal running of business can, in some cases, total more than the value of a whole or section of a system. These unforeseen problems often dent or halt a company’s cashflow and disrupt productivity during the period of replacement or repair if cashflow doesn’t allow for an immediate replacement.
