04 / IT Operations — new practice

A service desk staffed by engineers who resolve the ticket.

We provide outsourced service desk management across every channel your users reach you on, with Tier 1 triage, Tier 2 engineering and Tier 3 practice escalation under one SLA and one accountable delivery manager. Our analysts can read your stack, close the ticket at first contact where possible, and route the underlying cause to the team that can remove it for good.

Scope an IT operations engagement

Tiered support layers

Tier 0 self-service and automated resets, Tier 1 triage and first-contact resolution, Tier 2 and 3 escalation into application, infrastructure and ERP specialists from our own practices.

Omnichannel intake

Voice, email, live chat, Slack or Teams, and a self-service portal — one ticket record regardless of how the user reaches you, so reporting stays honest.

ITSM consulting & alignment

Workflows structured on ITIL 4 practices — incident, request, problem, change and knowledge management — so the desk manages proactively instead of firefighting.

The tier model

Shift-left by design, so volume falls over time.

Tier Handled by Scope Target share
Tier 0 Automation & AI assistant Password resets, access requests, knowledge-base answers, status checks — resolved without a human touching the ticket 30%
Tier 1 Service desk analysts Triage, categorisation, standard break-fix, provisioning, first-contact resolution 45%
Tier 2 Support engineers Application, integration and infrastructure issues requiring log analysis, config change or vendor coordination 20%
Tier 3 Practice engineers Code-level defects, data pipeline failures, ERP customisation — escalated into the same teams that build the systems 5%

Target distribution at steady state, reached over the first two quarters as automation and knowledge coverage mature. Tier 3 is the structural advantage: for clients who also engage our Application, Data or ERP practices, escalation goes to engineers who already know the system.
