Frontline Managed Services
Bitphase IT Solutions would like to introduce an exciting new service
model called “
Frontline Managed IT Services”. Perhaps the best way to
describe Frontline is by contrast...
Most of you will likely be familiar with what is sometimes called the
“
Break-Fix” model.
- A monthly fee gets you scheduled onsite service. You must wait for problems to be fixed.
- Emergencies may not be handled in a timely fashion. They will cost extra.
- Downtime and wait time cost you even more money.
- Service provider benefits from your misery.
Now, let's contrast this with the “
Managed Model”:
- Your systems are monitored 24/7/365 to prevent problems. This ensures that vital processes like backups are actually working!
- If a problem does occur it is dealt with immediately at no additional cost.
- If a problem is found with your system or another of our clients, we will make pro-active changes to reduce or eliminate the chance of it happening again.
- Our goals and yours are aligned by design. We cannot pass on the costs of a problem.
Using state of the art software, a host of vital signs concerning your
PCs, servers and network are monitored 24 hours a day, seven days a
week, 365 days a year.
Fact 1:
- Small-to-medium businesses (SMB's) report an average of over 50 hours
of lost productivity per employee per year due to IT problems.
Fact 2:
- 93% of IT problems can be proactively addressed via remote administration before they turn into performance problems, downtime,
loss of data or security breaches.
Fact 3:
- Current IT support providers profit when you face more IT problems rather than less!!!
These items (such as whether your virus and spyware programs are up to
date and functioning, warnings in your Windows and Server log files,
print services, backup services to name but a few) have been chosen
because if they are functioning correctly, your hardware and network are
running smoothly. Should one of these monitored items indicate a
problem, our technician will address the issue (very often before you
are aware that a problem may exist) remotely and immediately. In this
way, problems are headed off or nipped in the bud before they can
blossom into downtime.
We are always available over the phone and can remote into any computer
under our charge in a matter of minutes. Your staff won't have to waste
time describing a funny thing on their screen, much less try to book us
to come in for an emergency repair. As we said above, many times we will
have identified and corrected a problem without you even being aware of
it. In addition, we will make proactive changes if we can see that such
a change will reduce or eliminate the current problem from re-occurring.
Should you need to report a problem, our software comes with an easy to
use web-based problem submission and tracking system. We would be happy
to assist in filling out a trouble ticket if you prefer.
Keep in mind, the 24/7/365 monitoring service, our intervention if we
notice or are made aware of a problem by your staff and the reporting
system are all part of our Frontline Managed Service. They require a
simple agreed upon monthly fee. No surprises.
We like to say that your needs and ours are aligned by design. We want
your systems to perform flawlessly since we cannot pass along the costs
of fixing any problems that might pop up.
In addition to dealing with any problems that might occur, you will
benefit should another company under our charge experience a problem. If
a method is found to eliminate the problem in their shop, it will also
be applied to your systems, thus heading off any potential downtime
before it has a chance to rear its ugly head.

Preparing for the Unexpected
Protecting your data and your clients' data is critical. And as devices,
systems and networks become more complex, there are simply more things
that can go wrong. Interruption of service or loss of data due to an
unexpected disaster can have serious financial impact, whether directly
or through loss of customer confidence.
You know you need to keep your environment safe and secure, but you may
not know all the potential security holes and how to address them.
Bitphase can help.
Business Continuity Plans (BCP) and Disaster Recovery Plans (DRP) vary
from one business to the next depending on the level of security needed.
Bitphase has been helping Ottawa businesses analyze their IT
environments to identify gaps and vulnerabilities, then prioritize
accordingly. Our professional team will work beside you to customize a
BCP / DRP to reduce downtime and loss of data should the unfortunate
disaster happen.
