Has anyone heard of requiring a “bond” in a Maintenance Agreement for a vendor to perform routine, preventative-maintenance and corrective-maintenance to computer equipment?
I ran a search on the TechRepublic website for “bond” and resulted 126 matches, but not one of them referred to anything close to my interest.
The same thing happened when I searched MSN!
I discovered that “performance bonds” are largely required in the construction business and are available for many, many other industries; but oddly, not computer servicing!
My boss wants the vendor to be bonded, but the vendor and myself do not know where to find one and what it’s about.
Does anyone have any experience with this?
Has the topic of “bonds” ever been in a discussion?
Can anyone share their experience with Maintenance Agreements of this kind?
Thanks in advance!
