QUESTIONS


and ensure customer satisfaction. They’ll guarantee that systems are tuned and that we’re executing the engagement properly.


Q: COULD YOU EXPLAIN YOUR IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS?


A: Implementation is a critical stage—if you don’t implement properly, the relationship is in jeopardy, as well as the deliverables. Our implementation is a PMO-led activity, which ensures we’re on the right path in terms of milestones and resource sets. They run our implementations like projects, which is the key to success.


Q: DOES MY ORGANIZATION HAVE ACCESS TO ANY RESOURCES OR GUIDANCE AFTER IMPLEMENTATION?


A: Our service doesn’t end with implementation. Once we’ve effected the implementation—after we’ve gone through our characterization period where final adjustments are made—we begin the stabilization phase. In that phase, we establish ongoing controls to reduce call times or ticket avoidance or better reporting. Stabilization really has to do with the framework. It allows us to make adjustments on the fly and to bring back information to your organization that helps drive ongoing improvements.


Q: CAN YOU SHARE SOME FEEDBACK FROM CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE ENGAGED PC CONNECTION FOR THEIR LIFECYCLE SERVICES NEEDS? WHAT WERE THEIR BIGGEST MOTIVATORS IN SELECTING AN OUTSIDE PROVIDER?


A: Our customers say the biggest challenges they faced while managing their own IT lifecycles were securing access to talent, overcoming budgetary constraints, and optimizing infrastructure and running it effectively. There’s a great deal of specialization in the industry today—but quite often, both in-house and external providers have such a limited skill set, a limited stack that they have difficulty solving the bigger challenges.


PC Connection can solve those lifecycle challenges by helping you tune your infrastructure and run it effectively. Another key reason our customers choose to go with an external provider is stability. Managing projects and maintaining operational support within IT is a significant challenge for many organizations—especially with the rate of change that we see today. Working with an external service provider delivers greater stability and a deeper resource set that enables you to support your needs today and help prepare for tomorrow.
