Facilities Management

Contact Pierre Peutin

Information Systems Business Line Responsible

In order to support our customers' strategic activities, ensure their performance and daily productivity, Pentalog offers remote facilities management services (the infrastructure is situated on the customer's premises but is managed by Pentalog) or outsourcing services (the customer's infrastructure is located in Pentalog's centres and is managed by Pentalog).
Our teams work on a daily basis to help you control and optimize your infrastructure in order to guarantee an adequate and efficient systems operation. Our methodology is based on the major ITIL principles and ensures the maximum amount of rigour in our processes.

Objectives

A great deal of companies currently entrust their infrastructure to a service provider in order to :

decrease their committed costs
refocus on their business core
have specialists manage their IT system
outsource requirements
have the guarantee of service quality and a high level of availability for better risk management

Pentalog supports and manages the infrastructure of its customers by offering innovative methods and management tools in order to guarantee service quality and an infrastructure availability rate of more than 99%.

Organization

In order to help its customers in this process, Pentalog offers four service levels :

Level 0 : Incident collection and dispatch

Requests and incidents are reported in the incident monitoring tool. A ticket number is allocated to each new entry in order to ensure better follow-up. Each incident is then assigned to a higher-level team member to be processed. Every change linked to an incident is registered: allocation, follow-up notes (employees involved, requester)...

Level 1 : Supervision / Setup and operation

Supervision consists in following up the supervision tool and the programmed reading of system logs of the target area. The aim is to detect incidents and describe them in the management tool (category, incident criticality, transfer to the appropriate level). This supervision can lead to the execution of simple procedures such as account creation, resolution of known incidents etc. The simple procedures have to be defined with the client.

Level 2 : Administration / Support

Administration consists in analyzing and resolving unknown incidents (not managed on the supervision level), writing simple and complex procedures resulting from this resolution (when possible) and applying them if need be.
Support corresponds to configuring services and installation as well as migration tasks.

Level 3 : Expert

At this level, operators have to provide support, solve incidents (if they cannot be solved at level 2), carry out audits, studies and consulting missions.
