Downtime is something no business can afford.
In order to insure the
maximum productivity and security, it is critical to monitor all
aspects of your office technology. Equally important, is a
readily deployable service procedure for
routine and critical maintenance needs.
Our
continuous remote service, monitoring utilities, and scheduled maintenance
procedure establishes a proactive service model insuring your systems run at
peak performance.
The benefit
of a proactive service model
An effective proactive service compiles scalable
combinations of
interactive remote services,
recurring maintenance procedures,
monitoring utilities and customizable helpdesk
and knowledge base features.
Recurring
maintenance procedures
In the everyday business world, life can remain hectic. In order to
maximize productivity a business must maintain reliable technology operations
and insure that security is not breached from either within the
organization or outside. evolve scheduled maintenance insures that
security is maintained and the enterprise performs at it's highest capability.
Recurring maintenance overview
-
Insures internal and external access
security settings remain in place throughout the network
-
Performs diagnostics and
optimizations on weekly,
monthly and quarterly cycles
-
Establishes complete
hardware and software inventory and license key
maintenance to insure EULA compliance and rapid recovery
if needed
-
Deploys application updates as specified
by customer or application needs
-
Provides office wide upgrade
compatibility prior to deployment to insure
smooth transitions to newer applications
-
Optimizes operating environments to full
potential
-
Provides early detection of potential
hardware failure and upgrade requirements

Hardware
and network Monitoring
A basic example of monitoring is as follows. A hard drive on a workstation is at
85% capacity. Our monitoring utility generates an email notification to our
staff of the issue. Our technician logs on to the system console to verify the
status and determines that the drive should be upgraded. The designated customer
contact is notified and a hour of downtime for the upgrade to effected PC.
This process empowers the customer with the ability to schedule downtime rather
than having an unanticipated interruption in productivity as would be the case
on a reactive service model.
Monitoring overview
-
Provides scalable notification options via email, pager
and local pop-up messages
-
Monitors network bandwidth, hard drive capacity, thermal
conditions, memory utilization and potential virus and
spyware related issues
-
Allows notifications prior to significant impact on
productivity
-
Allows corrections to be scheduled at times having the
least impact on productivity
-
most Multiple visits are often necessary to
fully implement a resolution when hardware replacement
or upgrades are required
-
Delayed time to resolution and loss of
revenue

Continuous remote
service
For small to mid size business looking for a consistent proactive maintenance
routine, our remote support utilities can be integrated throughout an entire office
network. This process allows recurring services to be performed via remote to
the entire enterprise. System optimizations and scheduled maintenance can be
conducted during non operation hours to insure your staff productivity is not
disrupted. The administrative console provides the ability to inspect
and deploy software updates across an entire network from a centralized
interface. Hardware and software
inventory can be immediately gathered and catalogued providing valuable
information to insure compatibility prior to roll out of office wide application upgrades. Because
this service feature establishes a continuously available link, our service staff is available
to provide instant support with a
simple click of an icon.
- Maintenance services can be
implemented outside of business hours
- Establishes a direct link to our
office technical support staff for user support
- Entire network can be administered
from a centralized console to expedite office wide software deployments
- Allows for scheduled proactive service procedure
to maintain peak PC, workstation and server performance
Web Based remote service
Our remote support technology is scalable based on the unique needs of
each individual
client. For residential or occasional service needs our a web based platform is
the perfect match. The chat session is launched though a 128 bit encrypted site
to ensure security. From this level an interactive chat session is created and a
service technician works with you to provide assistance. This foundational "Help
Desk" feature is all that is needed to resolve many common issues. If more
direct support is desired, a small utility is accepted by the user to allow our
service tech direct access to the user's PC or server. From this point our tech
can interact with the system and launch diagnostics, run applications and
implement corrections to optimize the system. Throughout the remote service process, the user
has full control of the system and can terminate the connection at any time.
At the end of the session, the utility that allow us access is
automatically removed.
-
Support can be provided to internal
operators, mobile users and satellite office locations
-
Supports Windows, Linux, Unix and Mac
OS platforms
-
Operates regardless of dynamic or
static IP configurations
-
128 bit encryption
security
-
Fully operates through firewall
software and appliances
The flaws of a
typical reactive
service model
The most common service model is reactive
service. When you experience a problem with your PC or network, you
contact a technician for assistance. In many cases the service provider
has a good idea as to the cause of the issue and arrives on-site to correct the
problem. Unfortunately it is common that in order to correct a problem,
hardware replacements are required. This not only delays the
time to resolution but also adds an additional on-site service appointment. With
each visit the service provider must charge fees to cover their expenses.
Let's face it they are in businesses to make money. This is the typical service
model and throughout the process you wait and lose productivity and often money.
The
negatives of reactive
service
-
Service is often scheduled within four hour service
windows making you wait for a service rep to arrive
-
On-site service is typically scheduled several days
after the need is established.
-
Multiple visits are often necessary to fully
implement a resolution when hardware replacement or
upgrades are required
-
Delayed time to resolution and loss of
revenue
