Established
in 1982, BMS (Business Management Systems) were...
one
of the first suppliers of PCs,
the
first to introduce laptops in to Ireland and the
first laptop service centre,
one
of the first to offer and maintain PC based networks
and
the
first to produce/launch a PC based multi-user accounting
system in Ireland.
That's
a lot of history which only goes to show our pedigree
and experience but in an ever changing world of technology
we never stand still.
Business
Management Systems invest a considerable sum annually
to provide a high quality post sale service.
This
service is available to our Customers or any user
of a Toshiba, Sony or other brand of Notebook PC in
Ireland through our award winning Service Centre.
A fundamental
principle of our Service Centre is the wish to make
a quality service available to our Customers... not
just a telephone Call Centre (which is so often the
cause of frustration), but a personalised service
for our Customers where they can discuss and receive
advice on a problem from a qualified Engineer who
may well be the same person who carries out a repair,
if that is required. Visitors are also welcome to
our service centre

Warranty
Service
Business
Management Systems maintain a Technical Support Department
so as, in the first instance, to extend to our Customers
or in the case of Toshiba laptops to ANY user regardless
of whether purchased from us or not, the warranty
services provided by the manufacturer.
What
is a Warranty?: A Warranty is a commitment
from the Manufacturer to replace any component which
fails, without cost, within the period and under the
terms of the warranty. It does not deal with the effect
on or cover the use of application software or data
and is not a service agreement. Our technical staff
can assist in resolving the effect of any failure,
where required.
Warranty
service meets the needs of many Customers. Different
types of warranty cover are provided by Manufacturers'.
This will often depend on the type of product. Some
Manufacturers offer a return to bench warranty. Others
will offer an on-site agreement or the option to upgrade
to an on-site service agreement. Others will offer
an on-site warranty or service agreement with quoted
response times. Again the option frequently exists
to upgrade the warranty to extend the warranty period,
improve service type or response times. So, it is
important to know what type of warranty or service
agreement you have and what type of service you require.
If
you are using a Portable computer, for example, or
a printer, a standard Return-to-Bench warranty may
be all you need as the products are generally easily
transported. On the other hand, if you have a desktop
computer, server or large printer they are not so
easily transported and an on-site warranty could be
important to you.
TOSHIBA
Warranty: Toshiba provide a one or three
year, Parts and Labour warranty on their Portable
computer range as standard. Business Management Systems
can can provide that warranty service either directly
to the end-user or through a reseller. A next business
day Toshiba on-site warranty is available for their
Portable Computer users as an upgrade and may be purchased
as a product from our Sales Team.
Other
Manufacturer's Warranty:
In the even that a user with a Manufacturer's warranty
should have a problem with any product other than
Toshiba (see above) they should telephone the Manufacturers
Service Support line and report the problem. They
will be given instructions about what to do at that
point. Contact details should be found in the documentation
supplied with the product. If an on-site service agreement
is in place the user can expect to have a Service
Engineer from the Service Centre visit their premises
and rectify the problem.
If
you should have a problem with this procedure for
any product we have supplied please contact our Service
Centre on 01-4505277 and we will endeavor to rectify
the problem for you.
Returning
goods to Business Management Systems for Service under
Warranty:
If you wish to return goods to us for service please
refer to Returning goods for Service.
Post-Warranty
Service
Any
Customer who has a problem with a product we have
supplied, which is outside it's warranty period, should
take the course of action.
Toshiba,
Sony or other Portable Computers:
In the event that a user of a Toshiba, Sony or other
Portable Computer in the Republic of Ireland should
have a problem which is not covered by warranty, where
a service agreement does not exist for the product,
whether or not we have supplied it, they should contact
our Service Centre on 01 - 4505277
and make arrangements to return the product to us
for chargeable service.
Other
Products
In the event of requiring service for any other product
we have supplied or difficulty with any of the above
procedures please contact our Service Centre
on 01 - 4505277 who will be happy to assist.
Maintenance
Service
Where
the manufacturers warranty service is not sufficient
to meet the demands of a Customer, Business Management
Systems can offer a full telephone and/or on-site
Maintenance Service tailored to meet the Customers
need.
Consider,
for example, a problem with a disk drive on a computer
which necessitates its replacement. Under warranty
an Engineer will replace the disk drive but do no
more. It remains the responsibility of the user to
maintain security copies
of software and data... and to reinstate those
on the new disk drive. Fine if you know how... but
many do not... they feel their expertise lies in their
core business and rely on a Maintenance Agreement
with our Company to assist them in returning their
system to a working state in the shortest possible
time. However, the onus still lies with the user to
ensure they can provide an adequate security backup
of their files which can be used by the engineer to
recover their data.
Our
Service Department is available to ensure you get
maximum benefit from any product we have supplied
to you. We will also service any Toshiba Computer
product whether or not we have supplied it.
If
you wish to return any Toshiba, Sony or other laptop
to us for service within warranty (Toshiba only) or
outside warranty you must complete all required headings
on the above Repair Request Form and then return the
item to us with that form attached. Goods Inwards
will NOT accept an item which is
not accompanied by a Repair Form. You could email
a request or the form in advance to technical@bms.ie
or contact our Service Department on 01-4505277.
IMPORTANT
CUSTOMER NOTICE
