COMPREHENSIVE 24X7 NOC SUPPORT Managed NOC service at every level of technical support

Our multi-tier operational support structure enables managers to leverage the lower-cost first-level or Tier 1 team to perform routine activities, freeing up high-level technical teams to focus on more advanced support issues. By following an operational methodology that utilizes a tiered support structure in full alignment with the ITIL framework, our NOC can rapidly respond to incidents and events and continue to implement changes as needed, all under a more cost-effective service model.

Notification Support

We detect and identify events from alarms, calls, and emails related to network and security equipment, circuits, cloud infrastructure, and applications. This also includes creating incidents and notifying or escalating them to the client or customer until the incident has been acknowledged.

Tier 1 Support

At Tier 1, support includes initial event correlation, infrastructure, and services impact determination, and incident prioritization within established SLA timeframes—in addition to the scope of Notification Support. We work the vast majority of issues to resolution without impacting your team at all. Our Tier 1 resolution rates typically sit between 60% and 80% of all issues.

Advanced (Tier 2 & 3) Support

Our advanced support team expands on Tier 1’s expertise to include a deeper, investigative level of troubleshooting expertise in network and IT technologies along with specialized knowledge for highly-involved resolution.

INOC service catalogue
Event Monitoring and Management

We monitor, detect, and process events and faults related to client networks, IT infrastructures, and services such as status changes or usage to determine the appropriate action, often resulting in an incident being logged for fault management.

Incident Management

We detect and resolve incidents in order to restore services as quickly as possible and minimize downtime of our clients’ proactively monitored infrastructure and services. Notification, Tier 1, 2, and 3 services are available.

Problem Management

For those receiving our Tier 3 Incident Management services, Standard Problem Management includes performing activities needed to diagnose the root cause of incidents and submitting change requests to resolve those problems. Predictive Problem Management aims to avoid incidents proactively. This service also maintains information about problems and workarounds for use by Incident Management.

Capacity Management

We record and manage the performance, utilization, and capacity of our clients’ infrastructure components to ensure client service-level targets are being met.

On-Demand NOC Support

We provide backup — overflow, disaster recovery — NOC support for our non-24x7 clients.

Product Support

We provide white-labeled technical support to clients of system integrators, OEMs, and independent software vendors. Notification, Tier 1, 2, and 3 services are available.

Help Desk Support

We record and manage service requests — for information, advice, standard troubleshooting support, or access to a service — for the client’s end users and end customers.

Call Center Support

We record and route calls from our clients’ end users and end customers.

Service Transition Planning and Support

We work together with our clients to define the specific steps for the initial setup of support, including per-customer onboarding if applicable.

New Service Onboarding

We onboard client and customer infrastructure with client-supplied information and assistance. Get in touch with us to see all the services included in standard turn-up support, including CMDB setup, connectivity, ticket system, alarm monitoring setup, call and email setup, NOC runbooks, and much more.

Change Management

We record and manage changes to infrastructure, services, and monitoring. After New Service Onboarding is complete, we make subsequent changes to our support to reflect changes in our clients’ or their customers’ infrastructure and support environments. These changes include scheduled maintenance support as well as Requests for Change, including move, add, change, and delete requests.

Service Asset and Configuration Management

SACM defines the service and infrastructure components required to deliver services to our clients and maintains accurate configuration records. Configuration records also include service and asset relationship information. This support process allows for better Change Management, Incident Management, and Problem Management and ensures adherence to standards, legal requirements, and regulatory obligations.

Professional Services

We support clients with their internal runbooks, tools, and infrastructure through a number of Professional Services. These include Integration Services (such as runbook development, tools integration, and custom monitoring functionality) as well as Engineering Services (including standard and simplified provisioning and design and deployment services).

Service Reporting and Service Analysis

Service Reporting provides reports about INOC support. Service Analysis aligns the services with changing client business needs by identifying and implementing improvements to the services we provide. The objective of this process is to improve effectiveness and achieve these objectives in more economical ways. Service Analysis measures and monitors process compliance, quality, performance, and the business value of a given process.

HOW INOC PROVIDED A SOLUTION

Adding a structured 24x7 NOC framework has opened the door to new revenue opportunities. INOC and the partner put together a Hybrid NOC solution to support multi-vendor/multi-technology client environments:

Alliance (OEM) Services: Network Equipment Company
SITUATIONAL CHALLENGE

A network equipment manufacturer was working with a large telecom company that was providing NOC services on the manufacturer’s behalf. The telecom company had limited flexibility in its service features and was unable to fulfill all the requirements for a number of customers. The manufacturer then issued an RFP for NOC services.

HOW INOC PROVIDED A SOLUTION

INOC provided a structured, secure, and flexible NOC solution for the manufacturer’s customers with highly demanding SLOs, quality controls, and custom dashboards and reporting requirements.

RESULTS

The OEM increased its sales of maintenance and managed services from 20 to 85 clients in three years with substantial growth in recurring revenue.

The INOC VISION Partner Program for MSPs and SIs

“INOC’s willingness to be flexible and help customize the engagement while also making recommendations about the support function, in general, were huge motivators for our client. INOC was willing to start slow and gradually transition them from having dedicated hands to shared services for us over the course of two or three years. That’s something no other partner was willing to do. Rather than forcing the client into their own processes, INOC took the time to understand what the problem was, who the people were, what outcome they were looking for, and then craft a custom solution that wasn’t a seismic change for the engineers. Some of the process improvements were made more comfortably over time.”

SHI logo Troy Weber, Enterprise District Sales Manager

“[A] big motivator for working with INOC was its ability to navigate the interpersonal dynamics of a massive enterprise. Our client had multiple CTOs, CIOs, and about two dozen IT SVPs. INOC was able to galvanize all these stakeholders by demonstrating real thought leadership in their discipline. They could show what’s likely coming in two or three years in terms of automation and machine learning—and how DevOps was going to play into support. That was super important to our client.”
