Keysight Technologies Bolsters Technical Support Services
September 10, 2020 | Business WireEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Keysight Technologies, Inc., a leading technology company that helps enterprises, service providers and governments accelerate innovation to connect and secure the world, announced it has expanded the company’s KeysightCare program to provide a growing customer base with fast, reliable access to priority technical support.
KeysightCare is a scalable and comprehensive support model offering best-in-class test and measurement expertise through a dedicated, proactive single point of contact for instruments, software, application measurements and test. This integrated support model is now available with five tiers to meet the specific hardware, software and technical support needs of customers.
On August 24, 2020, Keysight released the results of a third party survey that showed nearly all companies that design and develop electronic products experience costly and preventable delays related to test equipment configuration, maintenance or training issues. The survey found that 97% of respondents had experienced production delays that directly caused revenue loss to their business, and 90% of respondents said they would value access to testing expertise from outside the organization and that their test teams would work more efficiently with faster access to technical support experts and knowledge resources.
The newest offering in the KeysightCare portfolio is KeysightCare Technical Support, tailored to cover all Keysight instruments at a customer site, regardless of performance level, use model, warranty period or discontinuance status. Since November 2018, classic KeysightCare Assured is included with the majority of newly delivered Keysight instruments and software. However, customers still operate previously acquired equipment in R&D and manufacturing test setups, which require fast predictable access to technical support experts.
KeysightCare Technical Support provides for committed response time from a live technical support expert, as well as access to technical expertise through the KeysightCare portal and a knowledge center 24x7, which contains decades of R&D expertise in thousands of technical articles and programming examples on leading edge technologies.
“Our customers demand faster access to technical support when challenges arise in operating test and measurement instruments and software,” said Ted Burns, Global Director of KeysightCare. “Since Keysight implemented KeysightCare in 2018, we’ve been able to improve committed response times by 50 percent, while continuing to invest in our global support infrastructure, empowering our customers to mitigate project risk and get products to market faster. KeysightCare helps customers remove barriers to success through a committed, accessible, and proactive engagement with our measurement experts.”
KeysightCare is offered in five service levels:
- NEW KeysightCare Technical Support – This entry level technical support offering, removes technical barriers with less than two business days committed response time by technical support and application engineers.
- This level is tailored to cover all Keysight instruments at a customer site, regardless of performance level, use model, warranty period, or discontinuance status.
- KeysightCare Assured Delivers Fast Support – This level offers committed four-business-hour technical response, repair coverage with ten-business-day repair turnaround time, and proactive firmware notifications.
- KeysightCare Enhanced Delivers Priority Support – This level offers committed two-business hour technical response, repair coverage with seven-business-day repair turnaround time, calibration coverage with five-business-day turnaround time, and proactive firmware notifications.
- KeysightCare Performance Delivers Enterprise Support – This level offers committed two-clock hour technical response, repair coverage with five-business-day turnaround time, calibration coverage with three-business-day turnaround time, proactive firmware notifications, and 24x7 emergency response.
- KeysightCare Software – This level delivers subscription support and protects software investment with flexible licensing options to maintain budget control and balance project’s requirements. Software remains always current with the latest enhancements and measurement standards.

COVID, Tough Sales, and What Made Me a Better Salesperson
08/12/2025 | Daniel Beauvois, The Component StoreBefore 2020, we approached sales differently. A persistent, gritty salesperson could approach businesses daily without an appointment. They would often be turned away, but sometimes, they would be given a shot. Then, in March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic became official, and things started to shut down. When we finally came back, everything had changed, creating an impenetrable barrier for outside salespeople.
It’s Only Common Sense: Stop Chasing New Customers and Start Keeping the Ones You Have
08/11/2025 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common SenseCustomer retention is not glamorous. It doesn’t have a flashy ad campaign, it’s not going viral on social media, and nobody’s handing out “Best in Retention” awards at trade shows. However, if you’re running a proper business, not a popularity contest, then customer retention is where you make your money. However, too many companies treat customer retention as an afterthought.
