To drive efficiencies within your organization, you must be able to provide a high level of top-quality, predictable service, regardless of impending project demands or operational urgencies.

Enjoy Advantages of Onshore Service Desk

Imagine how satisfied your end users would be with a single point of contact for service requests and a self-service knowledge base that’s always up to date. Now think about how great life would be for you if your service staff used root-cause analysis to drive down ticket volume, utilized ITIL best practices to resolve problems, and provided metrics to help increase productivity – all without being asked.  SMS Service Desk gives you these advantages remotely or onsite, at predictable costs that simplify IT planning and budgeting. And since service desk resources can be shared between multiple companies, you pay only for what you need, when you need it.

Worry Free Infrastructure

With everything else your staff has to do, maintaining servers can fall to the bottom of the list.  With SMS 24/7/365 infrastructure services, including remote monitoring, your Tier I-III infrastructure and applications environments will always run at peak performance. With your SMS Technical Operations Manager watching over your operations, you’ll never need to give your systems, databases, mid-tier apps, networks, messaging and storage systems a second thought. And you’ll have more time to focus on connections that will take your business to the next level of excellence.
