Disaster recovery strategy
Denis Waitley said “Expect the best, plan for the worst, and prepare to be surprised”. By creating a disaster recovery strategy you’ll be prepared for the worst with a plan in place to get your system up and running without delay and with no loss of vital data.
Business continuity planning
It’s better to prevent problems from happening in the first place. To do just this, we’ll perform application maintenance as well as create support strategies that prevent incidents as well as prepare you if anything unforeseen does happen.
Help & advice
No matter what the issues, we’re here to help. One of our highly skilled teams will give you the expert support you need to solve problems without delay and/or provide advice on the best way to prevent them from happening in the future.
Remote or onsite support
We can provide support both remotely as well as in person. This gives us the flexibility to respond to your needs without delay if a problem can be solved without the need to have a member of our team visiting your business.
Our approach
We begin by learning about your business and the software it relies on. Once we understand your systems, what they do and what you want from them in the future, we can then recommend the best way forward in order to maintain and support them.
Application maintenance
Our maintenance services cover all essential work needed on your software applications so that they work efficiently, effectively and securely. Using our extensive knowledge of both existing and new technologies, we provide solutions that make the best use of your existing tech and ensure that all work carried out is done so with the absolute minimum interruption of your systems, if any.
This is a process we’ve successfully carried out for clients of all sizes and take great care to ensure you get the right solution first time. So, whether your current software is no longer fit for purpose, it needs updates or has issues inbuilt which has so far gone unnoticed, we'll get to the heart of the problem. Then create the best way to overcome it so your software and applications are helping, not hindering your business.
Application support
Our applications management team is available to talk in person during office hours and on hand through our telephone helpdesk which is available out of hours. If they can’t solve a problem there and then, a relevant in-house expert will take over to provide the right solution without delay. You’ll be able to monitor your support request as well as add any additional detail.
We pride ourselves on giving clients a level of app support which is second to none. Which is why you’ll have peace of mind that when it comes to hosting an application, as well as maintaining and upgrading it, you don’t have to worry about downtime. Even if a problem suddenly occurs.
We back all this up with weekly reports on any work undertaken. And provide monthly service reports on planned work for the next month together with any recommendations to improve performance.
