What is a Preventive AMC Contract?

A Preventive AMC Contract is a service agreement between a business and an IT service provider. It covers scheduled maintenance, inspections, updates, and support for critical IT assets such as computers, servers, networking equipment, and business communication systems. The focus is on preventing issues before they occur rather than just reacting to problems.
