This simple analysis can be deceiving — and ultimately expensive. Hardware acquisition and replacement costs pale in comparison to the true costs of a device failure in a business setting.

Aberdeen Group surveys service organizations to uncover best practices in
the field service industry. Aberdeen segments companies into three
categories based on their responses to the survey — the top 20% of
companies in terms of service performance are deemed Best-in-Class, the
middle 50% are labeled Industry Average, and the bottom 30% are considered
Laggards. The firm then identifies best practices by determining the steps
Best-in-Class companies have taken that Industry Average and Laggard
companies have not. |
