The CompTIA AMM will feature Zylog Canada’s CEO John Mehrmann presenting “Warranty Initiative Update: Best Practices, Results, New Trends, and New Opportunities”.

In an IT industry that never stops changing, the CompTIA Annual Member Meeting (AMM) is an event that cannot be missed. CompTIA AMM, taking place on March 12^th, 13^th and 14^th, will transform Sheraton Chicago Hotel and Towers (301 East North Water Street, Chicago, IL) into the IT industry’s hot spot.

“At CompTIA’s AMM, more than 200 members unite in a neutral forum to discuss channel issues and develop actionable initiatives to help move the channel forward. CompTIA’s member communities will host working sessions covering the industry’s hottest topics including cloud, IT security, managed service, managed print services, mobility and women in IT.”¹

On Thursday, March 12^th (from 2:40 PM to 3:00 PM) John Mehrmann will discuss Warranty Initiative Update: Best Practices, Results, New Trends, and New Opportunities. CompTIA IT Services and Support (ITSS) has completed a two year study of Warranty issues with independent surveys and in-depth interviews with key stakeholders from the OEM and Service Provider community. Investigation of past issues and current technology with thought leaders identified immediate opportunities for financial benefits to both OEMs and Service Providers. The new threats are alarming and the new opportunities are surprising. Zylog was contracted to consolidate these findings into a White Paper on behalf of CompTIA. Mr. Mehrmann will provide an overview of preliminary findings of this work, in advance of the forthcoming White Paper.
