Service governance and management

Striving for excellence in customer service

Entrusting your most crucial IT services to a managed services provider (MSP) requires confidence and trust in the partnership between you and your MSP. Advania’s service governance and management team delivers a high-quality service that targets your business objectives, focusing on the twin aims of continuously achieving client value while providing expert support across all governance and management needs.

OVERVIEW

A managed service provider with a difference

Managing our clients’ IT services on a daily basis and ensuring those services are delivered to the highest standards possible means constantly monitoring and improving what we do. But offering industry-leading managed services is only part of what makes us stand out – building and maintaining successful client relationships is what allows us to evolve and keep pace with your needs. Advania is the technology company with people at heart – and it’s our people that make the difference for us, just as your people do for you.
Features

Service management you can rely on

The best services are the ones delivered seamlessly from the start. At Advania, our team of transition managers and service delivery managers focus on your business value in ways that go beyond simply ensuring the successful delivery of our services – they create the foundations to manage our relationship with you and cultivate a thriving partnership which allows for long-term growth and success. We provide flexible service delivery and dedicated service management to support the strategic journey that each individual organisation requires.

Strategic partnership

With regular contact and reporting, our service delivery management will work closely with you to ensure our services keep delivering the value you expect.

End-user focus

The end-user experience is at the core of our efforts. The high-quality services we provide are accompanied by insights and recommendations from your service delivery manager to meet your needs, today and in the future.

Continuous evolution

Working in partnership, together we will be perfectly placed to constantly refine and improve our services as our relationship matures and your goals change.

Effective and optimised service provision

The most successful organisations ensure that every part of their operation is being governed efficiently and effectively. Sometimes, that governance comes from a dedicated, outside team. At Advania, all of our services follow the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) framework and Advania best practice, meaning we follow recognised best practices to ensure your needs are met. Our satisfaction comes from seeing an ongoing development in overall client satisfaction, as well as supporting long-term client achievement. Here’s how we can help you.

Service, governance and management

Data-driven decisions through service performance reporting

Understanding precisely how your services are making a difference and having a clear view of your data allows you to make more informed decisions for your organisation. By regularly reviewing the data around your service performance and usage, and presenting it to you, your service delivery manager will identify trends and opportunities for service improvements. Making decisions based on evidence is how organisations can derive greatest value from their managed services, and how you can achieve your long-term goals through data analysis and service reporting.

Continual service improvement

Technology is advancing at a pace unlike any other point in history, but with the opportunities and potential that new services and apps offer also come risks and challenges. Your service delivery manager will take ownership of these for you, creating a service improvement plan to drive various actions through to closure. By continually assessing the changing business need and by analysing the data to gain a holistic view of your service use, our team will be able to offer ongoing improvements across all elements of the delivery of your services. The goal is always to drive greatest value – for you, for your people and for our teams who are working towards your goals.

In pursuit of your goals, technology is only one part of the equation. To ensure that your IT systems and business objectives are aligned and working in tandem, your organisation needs secure, well-designed IT management processes.
