Over a third of respondents (approximately 36%) expect equipment to last more than ten years, while around one-fifth (roughly 21%) demand a lifetime of more than five years, backing up findings that engineers place a high value on instrument reliability.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Engineer respondents say they want to protect their investment and get continued value from their purchase, which is in-line with organisations offering continuous service and technical support. Tektronix offers various warranty lengths by product type. Calibration and repair support for each product typically continues for a minimum of five years after production ends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Technical support<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When asked about the services they value the most, the technical support offered by a vendor came out on top (cited by 72 %of respondents).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tektronix strives to support engineers\u2019 needs by offering new ways of working, including remote control capabilities such as our <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/uk.tek.com\/software\/tekscope-pc-analysis-software\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TekScope<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/uk.tek.com\/software\/tekdrive\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TekDrive<\/a><\/strong>, which enable cloud-based software defined engineering, that has grown significantly in importance over the last 18 months. Highly appreciated by Tektronix\u2019s customers is also the provision of support through a dedicated technical Pan-European support team; as well as a European multilingual Center of Excellence (CoE) team. Solutions such as virtual online product demonstrations have been very popular with our customers throughout the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other key factors that survey participants said they value from their vendors included:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Good user manuals (69%)<\/li><li>Good supply of accessories and probes (50%), and&nbsp;<\/li><li>Applications\u2019 notes (43%). &nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Post-sales support<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Post-sales support such as calibration, repair and training were also mentioned as of significant value to today\u2019s engineers. Tektronix has the world&#8217;s most comprehensive network of repair and calibration services for any brand of test and measurement equipment and also offers asset management and factory service plans. Tektronix also provides <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/uk.tek.com\/learning-center\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">extensive online training resources<\/a><\/strong>, including application notes, training videos and webinars.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe thank all the 1,300 engineers that answered to this survey to help us improve. The findings enable us to continue building on our unique 75-year heritage to support engineers across multiple applications around the world. We will continue investing in reliability, high-quality products and extended services to meet our customer\u2019s requirements,&#8221; says Maria Heriz, Vice President EMEAI, Tektronix.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To keep pace with rapid advancements in technology, today\u2019s test and measurement engineers seek longer-lasting products and more technical support, according to a global survey of nearly 1,300 professional test and measurement engineers conducted by Tektronix.\u00a0 Designed to provide greater insight into the technologies, challenges and opportunities faced by engineers, the results showed what engineers &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[199],"tags":[9601,6720],"class_list":["post-20136","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","","category-news-views-and-opinion","tag-global-engineer-survey-2021","tag-tektronix"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Engineers want longer product lifetimes, greater reliability and technical support from test and measurement vendors - survey - Engineer News Network<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"To keep pace with rapid advancements in technology, today\u2019s test and measurement engineers seek longer lasting products and more technical support, according to a global survey of nearly 1,300 professional test and measurement engineers conducted by Tektronix\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/engineers-want-longer-product-lifetimes-greater-reliability-and-technical-support-from-test-and-measurement-vendors-survey\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Engineers want longer product lifetimes, greater reliability and technical support from test and measurement vendors - survey - Engineer News Network\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"To keep pace with rapid advancements in technology, today\u2019s test and measurement engineers seek longer lasting products and more technical support, according to a global survey of nearly 1,300 professional test and measurement engineers conducted by Tektronix\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/engineers-want-longer-product-lifetimes-greater-reliability-and-technical-support-from-test-and-measurement-vendors-survey\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Engineer News Network\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2021-09-28T08:06:26+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2021-09-28T08:08:43+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"admin\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"admin\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Estimated reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.engineernewsnetwork.com\\\/blog\\\/engineers-want-longer-product-lifetimes-greater-reliability-and-technical-support-from-test-and-measurement-vendors-survey\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.engineernewsnetwork.com\\\/blog\\\/engineers-want-longer-product-lifetimes-greater-reliability-and-technical-support-from-test-and-measurement-vendors-survey\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"admin\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.engineernewsnetwork.com\\\/blog\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/4477342aea8e299c6a21761e513ea8e1\"},\"headline\":\"Engineers want longer product lifetimes, greater reliability and technical support from test and measurement vendors &#8211;
