IT AMC vs warranty — what's the difference?
They're often confused, but they're not the same thing:
IT AMC
A year-round partnership that maintains, monitors, secures and optimises all your technology. It prevents issues, speeds up systems and protects against threats — for an agreed annual fee.
Warranty
A manufacturer's promise to repair specific defects, usually for a limited time (often a year). It's reactive and narrow — covering only certain faults, not ongoing care.
