Scope to look for

What a good IT AMC includes

  1. VISITS

    Preventive visits

    Quarterly preventive visits across covered devices.

  2. SLA

    Priority support under a written SLA

    On-call support with response times by severity.

  3. HELP

    Remote helpdesk

    For quick fixes without a site visit.

  4. UPDATES

    Firmware and software updates

    On a documented schedule.

  5. ASSET

    Asset register and quarterly reporting

    So you know what is covered and what was done.

  6. PRINT

    Printers and MFDs

    Hardware servicing, cleaning, driver and firmware maintenance and repair labour.

What to expect

How the price is set

  1. FLAT

    Flat annual fee

    Set by office size, not per call-out.

  2. AUDIT

    Free equipment audit first

    The audit produces an itemised written quote.

  3. TERM

    Annual or multi-year

    Equipment can be added or removed at renewal.

  4. EXCL

    What is not guaranteed

    Printer consumables such as toner, drums and ink are advised on and can be arranged separately; they are not a guaranteed supply unless agreed in writing.

Six questions to ask any IT AMC provider

1) Which devices are covered? 2) What are the response times by severity, and where? 3) How often do preventive visits happen? 4) Is the fee flat or per call-out? 5) What is excluded? 6) Will I get an asset register and quarterly reports? See IT AMC for computers, servers, printers and security and the CCTV and IT AMC contract guide.

IT AMC in the UAE: FAQs

What is an IT AMC?

An IT AMC is an annual maintenance contract covering your computers, servers, printers and network equipment, with preventive visits, support and response times set in writing.

How much does an IT AMC cost in the UAE?

Quicknet sets a flat annual fee by office size, itemised in a written quote after a free equipment audit. No fixed price is published because the fee depends on your devices and size.

What response time should an IT AMC give?

Quicknet writes response times by severity into the contract: 2-hour on-site for Severity 1 incidents in Abu Dhabi, next business day for Severity 2 and within 3 business days for Severity 3.

Are printer consumables included?

Toner, drums and ink are advised on and can be arranged separately. They are not a guaranteed supply unless agreed in writing.

Can I add or remove equipment?

Yes, at renewal. Terms are annual or multi-year.

Do you support offices outside Abu Dhabi?

We have branches in Mussafah, Abu Dhabi and Al Ain, and take Dubai on a project basis. Ask which response times apply to your location.
