Architecture Review & Capacity Planning

Ensuring all environments are kept inline with current best practices, this essential section of a Managed Services contract gives us the opportunity to continue the architectural discussion about the solutions and how it fits with the rapidly evolving business environment, both internal and external.

Service Management Review

Appnovation assigns a dedicated Managed Services Subscription Manager (SM) to act as the overall point of contact for each client's MS account and related contracts. The SM is a resource focused entirely on client overall satisfaction and serves as an escalation point for issues and requests. In addition, the SM takes on the role of coordinating monthly meetings with clients to help oversee the smooth running of their MS account and contracts.

Appnovation Drupal support and maintenance benefits include:

• A Single Point of Contact (SPOC) for operational support and maintenance of complex multi-vendor environments.

• 24/7/365 access to the MS portal where customers can access the service desk to raise support tickets and feature requests.

The MS portal offers a custom and rapid escalation process which allows users to instantly escalate a support case to our success management team. This feature has allowed us to achieve just over 98% "Excellent" (5/5) rating thus far from our support customers.

Every maintenance and support engagement kicks off with Appnovation's Drupal experts doing a deep dive audit of all the Drupal-based properties within scope for the support and maintenance contract.
