Partner Assurance Support Services (PASS):

Referred to as G”X”4300

• PASS services are purchased by a Partner on a select product set

based on availability

• The Partner must be fully accredited on a product set to purchase

the service offering.

• The PASS service contract is designed for and owned by the

Partner. It is Non-transferable and less expensive than Express.

The Partner can purchase and design their service offerings

based on individual offers that best suite each partner.

• When product replacement is offered on a product PASS services

can reduce inventory costs for the Partner

• Partners can take service calls from end users, knowing that their

PASS contract provides unlimited technical access and support

from Avaya on the product they are accredited on.

Express End-User Support Services

Referred to as G”X”6300

• Sold by the Partner on a select product set, based upon availability.

• With Express services, product accreditation is not required

• The service offering is “owned” by the end user and is non-transferable. The partner can be named as the end-user’s agent and can call on their behalf.

Purchased and designed based on individual offers as best suites each partner and their end-user’s requirements

• Usually offered and purchased as a stand-alone service, often used to support clients in areas with no or little partner support coverage

• Provides the owner or their agent with unlimited access to technical support from Avaya based on the offering purchased

• As with PASS, when replacement is available Express Services can be used to reduce inventory costs.

SRS Migrating to PASS and Express “PLUS”

SRS was a stand alone offering providing free, like for like upgrades to current release-software/licenses.

• Referred to as GW500

• Partners are the owners of existing stand-alone SRS contracts which are non-transferable

• General availability and use was for CS1k, Call Pilot and Contact Center

Pass or Express added to Existing SRS covered sites;

Partners can add Technical support only offerings to a site already covered with SRS contracts.

Building a Service Offering

Building a Sku to quote service contract requires:

• Identifying the Prefix-Where “GX” = “GE or GU”

• Adding the 4300 or 6300, Pass or Express

• Adding the Suffix-a three character code such as AQP or AQQ

• Resulting Sku may be GE4300AQP

Use of Tools can assist:

• EC-design with ESQ Module

• GPPC-pricing files and part explosion feature

• Service Catalog and Service Line Reference Guide

Page 11: Presenters: Kurt Ruesch, George Braun and Jenna …us.westcon.com/documents?documentId=38267&filename=vaya_NES... · Hardware Calix C7 UBLC Calix Components Category C 926 N/A N/A

Global Product Pricing Catalog (GPPC)

Provides access to current parts and pricing as well as custom “extract” catalogs and price files.

• You also have the ability to “explode” a product part number to view available service offerings for that product.

• GPPC is easy to use, supporting “wild card” searches (i.e. AL450*) as well as searches by description.

• GPPC also provides 30, 60 and 90 day advance pricing and change files and customized e-mail notification on numerous price or product changes.

Avaya has announced that GPPC will be the ongoing source for pricing across all Avaya product lines moving forward

• Getting familiar with this tool will help all parties be more self sufficient and allow quicker access to pricing files and one off answers on pricing and service attachment to name just a few of its features.

Service Contract Pricing Tools

Enterprise Configurator (EC) for all products and services

• The EC tool has been designated the configurator tool of choice for

all NES and Avaya legacy offerings going forward.

• EC quotes are highly recommended for services to be attached to

CS1k and any applications (Call Pilot, Contact Center)

• Generally used by design or engineering specialists and we can

offer advanced training support as needed.

Pricing Files

• Available from GPPC……

• Customized or full product catalogues available

• Services pricing included

ALL service contracts provide a contract and site ID that must be

used when requesting support from Avaya

• A “Contract ID” is the main number that identifies a given “Master”

contract

• A “Site ID” number is used to identify a site location as you can have

multiple sites under one “Master” contract.

Service and Support Tips

Every partner has their preferred methods of what they wish to do and how they wish to bring their offering to market.

• Try to reduce the service options down to a few key ones based on an offering that fits your firm. We can assist in this area as well.

Constant change will continue and regardless of your skill and knowledge level you will encounter exceptions to the rule

• A general knowledge of multi-year discounting is important, as a majority of this work is manual and Pricing in GPPC and price files is usually on a one year price per item.

In addition, you may run into numerous older contracts that your end users may have or your competition has sold.

• Throughout the last few years there have been numerous changes in offerings, length of agreements and termination liabilities.

• If you uncover something please feel free to reach out to Westcon so we can help you in this area as well.
