What the Service Express change means for a Power6 quote
Do not compare Service Express and Park Place as two separate maintenance networks. Ask which company issues the quote, which support portal receives the case, and which service-level terms control the repair.

| Quote item | Ask for | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Contract company | The legal company named on the agreement | The current maintenance relationship has moved to Park Place |
| Covered machine | Power6 machine type, serial number, location, and attached drawers | A general IBM Power statement does not confirm one server |
| Response | Separate times for diagnosis, parts arrival, and onsite labor | One response promise can hide several clocks |
| Software boundary | Written responsibility for firmware, IBM i, applications, and data recovery | Hardware repair does not restore the workload by itself |
