Break fix shouldn't mean chasing five vendors for one answer

Today's IT teams are overextended, running complex environments across many vendors, platforms, and clouds. Each OEM has its own escalation path, response timeline, and service requirements.

When an incident crosses those lines, teams open separate tickets in separate queues and run parallel conversations while the business waits. That slows resolution, raises costs, and pulls focus from strategic work.

One team for every vendor in your environment

Advanced Break Fix 365 (ABF) gives your IT team one expert-led break fix service across your entire environment. It combines 24/7 reactive break fix with direct access to Level 3 and Level 4 (L3/L4) engineers, all managed through XceloHub, Xcelocloud's service platform.

Whether you run hybrid infrastructure, modern applications, or mission-critical systems, ABF consolidates vendor coordination and gives you one view of every incident. The result is a lower mean time to resolution (MTTR), coverage for critical staffing gaps, and an internal team that can shift from vendor management to strategic work.

Managed LCS owns your account and stays your single point of contact. Xcelocloud's engineering team delivers the fix, working under their Xcelocloud names and email.

ABF works alongside your existing vendor contracts. It doesn't replace them.

Engineering across 25+ technology vendors

Including Microsoft, Azure, AWS, Google Cloud, Dynamics 365, VMware, Nutanix, Red Hat, Citrix, Cisco, Juniper, HPE Aruba, Extreme Networks, Dell, HPE, IBM, Apple, Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet, Check Point, CrowdStrike, Splunk, Veeam, and ServiceNow.

How it works: base break fix plus Optimized Services

Included with every ABF plan

  • 24/7 Level 3 and Level 4 break fix: Reactive engineering across 25+ vendors when a fix can't be had from the vendor.
  • Critical situation (crit-sit) and triage management: A coordinated response on critical, cross-vendor incidents until they're resolved.
  • Multidisciplinary engineering access: A direct line to multidisciplinary engineering teams and core engineering functions.
  • One platform, connected to your ITSM: Every incident tracked in XceloHub and integrated with your IT service management (ITSM) tool.

Optimized Services: add-ons for deeper engineering access

  • Resource Engineering: A named Level 3/4 engineer or subject matter expert assigned to your organization for a defined block of hours. Use them for integration, performance tuning, and ongoing optimization. Available for every vendor we cover, including Microsoft.

Formerly offered as Advanced Dedicated Engineer (ADE) and Advanced Dedicated Developer (ADD).

  • Direct to L4 Engineer: A priority escalation path with immediate access to senior engineers, backed by a service level agreement (SLA), bypassing standard triage queues.
  • Emergency Recovery: A high-intensity, short-term engineering response to resolve urgent outages or business-critical incidents, even if you're not a customer yet.
  •  

Powered by XceloHub

XceloHub, Xcelocloud's service platform, is the engine behind ABF. It brings ticketing, incident response, SLAs, and asset visibility together in one place. For ABF customers, that means faster engagement with senior engineers, streamlined vendor coordination, and one view of every incident from open to resolved.

Key customer benefits

  • Faster resolution across vendors: 24/7 access to experienced Level 3 and Level 4 engineers who resolve complex issues without separate vendor queues.
  • Reduced operational complexity: One service model, one platform, and one escalation path across every vendor.
  • Lower overhead and costs: Less time coordinating parallel vendor conversations, plus specialist coverage without full-time hiring.
  • Critical staffing gap coverage: Specialized engineering resources on demand, without long hiring cycles.
  • Improved uptime and continuity: Faster fixes mean less disruption to users and operations.
  • Strategic focus for IT: Break fix and multi-vendor coordination come off your team, so they can focus on transformation and innovation.

Why Advanced Break Fix 365?

Modern IT spans more vendors than any one team can manage. It needs a unified, expert-led approach that adapts to your environment, evolves with your business, and delivers measurable results across your technology landscape.

  • Senior engineers first: Your incident goes to Level 3 and Level 4 engineers, not a tier-one script, with no handoffs between vendors.
  • Multi-vendor in one engagement: Engineers who understand how your platforms fit together, so they solve problems where technologies meet.
  • One team, one platform: Every incident tracked and documented in one place, with each fix fed back into monitoring and runbooks to reduce repeat issues.

Backed by one of the IT channel's fastest-growing engineering partners

ABF is delivered by Xcelocloud, a channel-first, multi-vendor IT services company with a deep bench of Level 3 and Level 4 engineers. Managed LCS owns your relationship. Xcelocloud's engineers do the work.

  • Inc. 5000, two years running: No. 748 nationally and No. 24 in IT Services in 2026, up from No. 1,728 in 2025. (source)
  • CRN Fast Growth 150, two years running: No. 26 in 2026, after No. 8 in 2025. (source)
  • 25+ OEM ecosystems: One platform and one engineering team across all of them.

 

One partner from device to data center

Pair ABF with Warranty 365 to keep the devices your teams use in service, and with Data Center Disposition when infrastructure is ready to retire. One point of contact for the whole lifecycle.

Start with the fix, add what you need

ABF is often the starting point. When an incident needs hands on equipment, Field Services sends a technician. Recurring issues can move into Managed Services for 24/7 monitoring, and larger fixes become scoped Project Services. Every service runs on XceloHub under one governance model, so you add services without adding vendors.
