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
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

Westcon Service Contract Pricing Support
Westcon personnel are available to help and assist our
partners. We offer many levels of support as shown below:
• A Services team, under Chris Fender, with the skill sets to help
with quoting and ordering.
• Services Team available for large project initiatives
• Engineering resources to help design and configure offerings
• Product Sales and Support teams who work directly with partners
and or with our own inside teams.
For assistance or help please work through
your Westcon Account Team.
Service Contract Basics
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.
Required Service Contract Forms (SRS and HW Assurance Forms)
[See you Westcon AM for assistance with the forms]
• Provide Avaya and Westcon with the end user and partner contact
information for contract issuance.
• The start dates, term of contract and in some cases serial number of product
to be covered are necessary.
• Note in the end user e-mail field the e-mail of the person who should receive
the contract as well as e-mail updates
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.
Building a Profit Center
Service Contracts and mandatory attachments are a way of life.
Suggestions for building profit:
Understand and be sure your sales teams are well versed
Focus on sales of contracts that fit the model for you
organization
Look at increasing your “SLA” offerings and pricing, possibly
adding in “HIGHER” level contracts to your end users
Position service offerings as part of YOUR portfolio
Convergence Point (CP) and On-Demand Library
Westcon has a portal designed to support you.
• We provide up to date information on products, promotions
and pricing changes , etc., as well as resources such as
“Current Analysis” free to our partners.
• This includes our On Demand Library
available to registered users, where
you can, at your own pace, learn
about BCM, data and other products.

designed to provide more in-depth information.
