Key features of Chess Managed Services
A tailored service to suit your organisation, you can pick which options best
answer the needs of your organisation, helping you to reduce your costs.
We’ll monitor and make recommendations about the capacity of your IT infrastructure to support your business requirements as your user and system needs change. This will allow you to effectively support the changing needs of your operations.
The Service Desk can take responsibility for the escalation and management of events to any customer resolver group or external third-party application/service provider where the customer has a valid support contract in place. On resolution of any incident or completion of a Service Request, the Service Desk will seek user participation in final testing, then the information in the service desk management system will be dynamically updated and the incident/service request closed.
Our monitoring platforms continuously monitor the health of your IT environment and alert us to any change of state. This allows us to manage your environment, helping to avoid potential problems. If a critical alert is raised, an incident ticket is automatically logged, and our incident management process is initiated.
We want to make sure you are running the most secure, reliable and robust software possible, giving you and your end users peace of mind. We’ll plan, schedule and control releases on agreed versions and configuration items, as part of our planned maintenance schedule.
Where multiple incidents arise with the same underlying cause our team will use our problem management
process to clearly establish and fix the root cause. We also carry out trend analysis to ensure that patterns can
be identified so we can proactively eliminate any future re-occurrence or create action plans to predict any future incidents.
We produce quarterly service reports, which will highlight trends around Service Desk contact, tickets logged, targets met, and areas of risk, service improvement and opportunities to develop your service further.
Anti-Virus Support provides incident support for the pre-agreed legacy or Chess provided Anti-Virus solution.
Our solution consultants and technical architects are technology experts who work with you to review and
