Leading Visual Media Company
Challenge
Due to the constantly changing environment and the multi-year length of the project, ensuring smooth transitions despite inevitable turnover was a major focus. With the complexity of the business environment and its fluid requirements, the abilities to bring new team members up to speed and reference documentation was a vital requirement for a successful project.
Solution
- Through flexible and fluid assignments of IT Convergence personnel, the customer layered different services on top of one another as requirements changed over the course of the project notably AWS, Oracle, SQL infrastructure management & development activities
- Scaled from the original testing project to full support for their global Oracle Applications footprint, using onsite managers for production support as primary points of contact and supplementing them as needed with staff from our “right-shoring” model
- With the new support model in place, project ramp-up for new personnel needs declined considerably
- To facilitate future projects, our support teams rigorously documented all custom components in each work process
- We uphold transparent communication through Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs), ensuring the proper adjustments are made to the customer’s support personnel staffing and full utilization is maintained
Results
Streamlined country rollouts/improvements in operating standards: NA/EMEA/APAC. With support processes automated, the customer increased their focus on the core business strategy and decisions rather than devoting end-users and IT personnel to support. They achieved 24×7 support without any correlating increase in cost as a result of maximum utilization of personnel. The customer also reduced overhead IT project costs, allowing them to scale projects and leverage industry-leading vendors and technology, all while continuing to operate with their core team.
