Success Story
There are a host of services we can offer a company or individual who want to implement remote support office solutions. First let's discuss how this might work. One of our clients approaches technical support solutions with satellite offices and remote infrastructure support.
This large mid-south refinery client with offices in Texas and refinery operations in Alabama utilizes a distributed office support arrangement out of necessity as much as out of good business practices. Corporate offices, refinery operations, procurement and product sales are distributed in satellite office throughout the country. Information Technology services are delivered by a very small internal employee support group and 'outsourced' to Free Agent service companies for specialized technical support. EDI Support Services is one of the outsourced companies chosen to support all electronic transaction processing for the procurement division. The enterprise resource planning and support system is serviced by a remote company as is the application support services. All these service operations are linked/connected by 24/7 broadband virtual private networks which allows for around the clock support. No waiting for on-call site visits when immediate support is available at the click of a mouse.
