ITSM and Managed IT services

We manage part or the totality of your digital infrastructure applying ITSM

With the rapid expansion of social networks, mobile devices and smart applications, Information Technologies are becoming a vital part of our everyday personal and professional lives!

Young employees use their mobile device almost 24×7 and are habituated to receiving continuous access to personal applications around the clock.

Thus, every company includes IT investment in its business strategy, in order to keep pace with the digital transformation and stay competitive.

However, managing all those interconnected devices & systems (servers, networks, PCs, printers, peripherals, etc.) so they operate continuously and capitalizing on IT investment is a demanding and risky job. Even more for a Small or Medium Business (SMB) !

All those IT devices and services need strong ITSM

Modularity of Managed IT services is important for successful ITSM

Managing interconnected devices & systems is a demanding and risky job

Our Managed IT services are a modular and comprehensive suite of services that will protect your IT investment. With a fixed monthly fee you will enjoy the benefit of renting a well organized and competent IT Department, because we have chosen to follow IT Service Management (ITSM) from our foundation back in 2000. A predictable monthly fee with unlimited remote & onsite support, results in cost savings and easier budgeting.

Our services are designed in such a way as to provide assurance that your digital infrastructure is optimally configured and remains in a healthy state. The most integrated version, Omnis.Total, includes consulting, yearly budgeting, new project design & implementation, a competent Service Desk, management of third parties and IT suppliers, regular “Health checks” and monitoring, continuous asset management, patch management & software updates, license and warrantee management and regular reporting.

We are using acclaimed methodologies such as FitSM or ITIL for service management and SCRUM or PRINCE2 for project management. Our Managed services guarantee that your infrastructure will be redesigned (if necessary) in the most cost-effective technologically and architecturally manner, in order to achieve optimal performance.

Our Managed IT Services are modular

     • The first module, Omnis.Assess, is an independent service used at the begining before the commencement of our cooperation.

     • The second module, Omnis.Transform, is a provisional service, used before the commencement of our Managed IT Services.

     • The third module, Omnis.ServiceDesk, is integrated in all the remaining modules. It is offered also as a separate service.

Omnis.Assess

This service module involves the assessment of your existing digital infrastructure. We review its readiness for manageability. We examine carefully such aspects as standardization of equipment, software and configurations, user accounts and access privileges. We inspect and record your existing setup, to reveal any omissions or weaknesses, whose improvement will make ITSM more efficient or even possible.

Depending on the size of your business and commitment to our Managed IT services, this work may be undertaken free of charge and may include a report with our techno-economic proposal.

Assess ITSM compliance of IT Infrastructure

Transformation of an existing IT infrastructure to become ITSM compliant

Omnis.Transform

This service module involves the implementation of the proposals presented in our Omnis.Assess report. The implementation will be a fixed-cost project on a pre-agreed budget.

It includes all necessary adjustments or upgrades to your IT infrastructure, for its transition to manageability.


Omnis.ServiceDesk

This service module is an integral part of ITSM and all our Managed IT offerings. It is also provided as a stand-alone service. The Service Desk is our single point of contact, available to your company’s staff at any time for all technology-related issues. An experienced and accredited team of Technical Support engineers will receive and register your request, open an incident, attempt to immediately resolve it remotely or over the phone, or arrange further steps following well known ITIL best practices.

Users are promptly informed about the progress of their requests, while managers receive regular reports with usage and performance metrics.

Our Service Desk is at the center of ITSM

Backend Systems managed with ITSM

Omnis.Backend

We call Backend the total of main systems, such as servers, storage, network equipment, UPS and backup devices. They comprise the foundation on which your business applications and IT services run. These are the systems your users never see but without which, they won’t be able to do their work. Usually they are a mixture of physical and virtual devices, owned by your business or being hosted on a third party’s environment.

This service module involves managing your backend infrastructure using ITSM best practices. It includes standardization and asset management. It entails monitoring a number of core parameters and information files of your systems. This is an integral part of proactive support and performance monitoring. A regular “health-check” is always performed by a human person, on critical services such as backup, firewall, antivirus, storage and UPS. This service also includes supervised updates and patching of your systems.

We make available our Service Desk to your employees, to report any issues. In addition, we liaise we all involved third parties in case of glitches (e.g. com line is down) and monitor the progress of their work through our Service Desk.

Finally, we constantly ensure your data’s smooth operation and security, by making small changes where necessary. As a result, we achieve the overall improvement of your digital infrastructure’s performance and we reduce the risk of systemic failures.

We support IT systems and IT technologies from leading technology vendors, such as HP, Dell, IBM, EMC, Cisco, Microsoft, VMware, Symantec, Sophos, Linux and others.


Omnis.FrontEnd

We call Frontend all devises your employees & partners use. These are the systems your users are very familiar with. They consist of Personal Computers (desktops, laptops), mobile devices (smart phones, personal assistants and smart gadgets), printers and other peripherals. They become powerful job tools on the hands of your competent and valuable crew.

Their performant and continuous operation will contribute significantly to the success or failure of your business. However, their regular use wears them down and significantly reduces their efficiency. This is particularly true if they are not regularly maintained and properly administered (i.e. if there is no limit on the installation of new programs).

This service module involves managing your frontend infrastructure using ITSM best practices. It includes standardization and asset management. It entails supervised updates and patching of your systems. A regular “health-check” is performed by a human person, on critical services such as antivirus & group policies or any centralized services installed solely to deliver or protect frontend systems. Examples include FrontEnd backup and recovery, authentication systems, Citrix or other virtual desktop delivery systems.

Our Service Desk is available to your employees, for support & ongoing maintenance, such as password resets, new installations & changes. Finally, we liaise with all involved third parties and monitor progress of their work through our Service Desk. This is how we ensure that your workforce is constantly equipped with effective and efficient tools to accomplish their work !

Frontend managed properly by our technicians following ITSM

Omnis.Total mean total ITSM

Omnis.Total

In many cases it makes sense to outsource to us management of both Backend and Frontend systems.

This is especially the case for an SME (Small & Medium Enterprise).

For this reason, this service is particularly attractive to smaller businesses that do not have, or need to have, an in-house IT manager.

This service package has all the features of services modules presented earlier.
