Our Technology Success Program
OUR STRATEGY WORKS FOR YOU
There is no one-size-fits all approach for using technology in your business. Our process will align your goals with your business. The virtual CIO (vCIO) and Client Technical Alignment Manager (CTAM) are the strategic cornerstone of the Advanced Network Solutions service delivery model. These roles working together identify, evaluate and recommend solutions to risk-based findings in our client’s network.
We call this our Technology Success Program. The Technology Success Program (TSP) is a set of best practices from both industry and Advanced Network Solutions' experience. To ensure we are impactful in helping you achieve your goals, our documented approach echoes your business plan. As your objectives change, the TSP document is updated to keep them aligned.
Our Technology Success Program (TSP) will benchmark your company against industry standards and provide a roadmap for execution. Through the TSP, we provide a timeline to assist in budgeting that includes the business impact of those decisions.
TSP recommendations are delivered in an easy-to-understand format that includes not only the recommendations, but also the reasoning behind each. Whether it is aging hardware, a new business process or mitigating business risk, we cover those areas and work to become a true business partner.
STRATEGY & BUDGET UPDATES
SUPPORT & SERVICE
Inefficient IT support processes can lead to lost production, frustrated employees, goals being missed and impact to your bottom line. At Advanced Network Solutions, we work tirelessly to reduce the noise related to IT. Our vast experience has allowed us to implement a mature operating model to provide efficient IT support processes, a documentation platform, easy remote access and metrics to ensure that our service levels meet your expectations.
With our managed services, clients receive a team-based approach that includes dedicated roles for a virtual CIO (vCIO) and Client Technical Alignment Manager (CTAM). This provides depth within each client to provide service continuity and help prevent a single point of failure in the relationship. The vCIO and CTAM collaborate on analyzing your IT infrastructure to align our recommendations to your business goals.
Our service desk is comprised of a dedicated team that is ready to resolve issues quickly. They are solely dedicated to handling client service requests quickly - not multi-tasking between on-site visits or working on projects.
We track real-time service desk performance, response times and resolution times. These metrics are displayed on dashboards throughout the office and are always top-of-mind for our company. The metrics are reported on a weekly basis to the leadership team for review.
BEST-IN-CLASS SERVICE & SUPPORT
NETWORK SERVICES - MONITORING & MAINTENANCE
Ongoing monitoring, maintenance and care of your IT infrastructure is key to a stabilized, healthy organization. With our best-in-class tools and seasoned automation platforms, Advanced Network Solutions will keep your network, hardware and systems in great shape to allow you to concentrate on the day-to-day operations and higher-value projects that keep the business moving.
Infrastructure is the foundation upon which all your technology rests. Just like with a house, it is extremely important to verify its integrity before you begin to build on top of it and maintain it over time. Lack of maintenance can lead to downtime, security risks, lost revenue, compliance issues and impact the growth of a company.
Remote monitoring is essential for productivity in the modern, complex work place. Our specialized services measure literally thousands of data sources within your network and provide granular insights into the overall health of business systems. In turn, you can focus on your business needs while we deflect potential issues behind the scenes.
Our automated services dissect your environment and produce reports on your technology that can be used for immediate fixes or long-term planning of your technology. Proactive alerting cuts off potential issues and ensures that your systems remain healthy. You will be well informed of system outputs and we ensure your systems are working well.
