Softdisk strongly believes that Good value for money should be
preached at all possible levels for the price conscious end-user. This
can be achieved only by end-user-education about the quality of product
and service priorities, specially for the price conscious once. The
end-user should be made to realize the requirement of a quality UPS
system for the safety of his equipment. Industry should deny
participation in reverse auctions. Maintenance should be only with
original manufacturers TPM should come when original manufacturer says
no to service. This way every company will be assures of their service
revenues and concentrate on sales activity. Customers should know the
One snag in the UPS, and the costly electronic equipment could bid you
bye. Maintenance by original equipment manufacturer would mean faulty
component will be replaced by the exactly the same new component. There
by avoiding undue risks.
Softdisk has been the flag bearer in educating the masses about the
need for quality UPS system. The industry should come together to teach
UPS essentials more so in case of SOHO & SME segment as large and
enterprise class is more or less aware of the need to protect their
system. UPS manufacturers should look upon themselves as a solution
provider and not merely as manufacturers or traders, it is then the
entire system will revamp and the small time operators will be pushed
out.
