Application Enhancement – Any requests or changes required in the application were also catered to as a part of the service model. All requests / new enhancements followed the pre-defined change request model and were developed only after getting the necessary approvals from client stakeholders.
Regular Support Activities - As part of service model, regular support activities which were separate from incident support requests were also performed. These regular support activities helped in keeping the application safe and secure. Some of the key tasks performed were: Regular Health Check of the applications & Databases. Monthly Server reboot & service validations. Liaising with 3rdParty for OEM applications. Ticket Analysis & a monthly report, Continuous improvement activities
