ABOUT THE CLIENT

The client is an international telecommunication service provider offering wireless, and other assorted services to consumers, businesses, and other providers.

Taking over tier-one support from the client, Movate (Formerly Known as CSS Corp) has been able to deliver 24x7 first response and resolution, making space for tier-two support groups to handle critical issues effectively.

Building a firm ground of L1 Technical Support is key to any service organization, its importance being two-fold: A good L1 level support helps save on service delivery costs and time, while also liberating level two support groups to handle more critical issues. From our experience of having worked with multinational telecommunications companies before, Movate is in the perfect position to help the client in their endeavor to streamline their support process.

Movate (Formerly Known as CSS Corp) delivers exceptional L1 level support to around 32 keynote sales flows and 900+ servers across three data centers from two locations, saving costs and adhering to SLAs consistently.

L1 TECHNICAL SUPPORT: BUSINESS CHALLENGES

Before the engagement, the client's e-commerce operations were fully managed by tier-two support groups starting from monitoring, handling, and investigating basic 1:1 issues to critical business impacting ones. This drained a lot of their time and resources, making it difficult to focus on critical or complex site outages and site performance issues.

Moreover, the same team also handled events/issues during off-hours, increasing their workload substantially. The client was in search of a partner who could take the tier-one support without any negative impact on business, in a reasonable time.

L1 TECHNICAL SUPPORT: MOVATE SOLUTION

To deliver uninterrupted 24x7 support and avoid a single point of failure, Movate (Formerly Known as CSS Corp) formed two tier-one support teams, one each in Chennai and Utah.
