billion. In the US the number is $38 billion with annual growth of 6%.

Aberdeen research on the topic of Service Revenue, showed that existing service

contracts drive 31% of overall service revenue with new contracts and warranties

making up 15% and 7%, respectively

1/3 of new products are not covered by contracts and ½ of original maintenance

contracts are not renewed.

Annual maintenance contracts contribute to 1/3 of technology OEM’s overall

revenues, generating 70%-80% of manufacturer gross margins.

80% of total annual maintenance is from channel-driven sales.

Market research show 61% of companies have no knowledge of their asset base or

used spreadsheets and rudimentary discovery tools to track the information.
