24x7 global Siebel application support for a leading software products company
 

The idea
SLA driven production support for client's business processes.
 
The client
The client develops, manufactures, licenses and supports a wide range of software products for various computing devices. The company's software products include scalable operating systems for servers, personal computers (PCs) and intelligent devices; server applications for client/server environments; information worker productivity applications; business solution applications; software development tools, and mobile and embedded devices.
 
The business challenge
The client had support teams of varying sizes in Asia, Europe and US. These teams collectively provided user support for different applications being used worldwide. The regional spread of the support team resulted in redundancy of operations and prevented uniformity in the support process.

Therefore the client desired an exclusive support service to offer the required high-quality support. At the same time, the chosen methodology had to be different from the current model, for regional teams supporting their respective regions. The support offered had to be competent to address the global support needs of the client, handling the worldwide user community.

 
The solution

Keeping in tune with the client’s requirements, we offered 24/7 using our global delivery model. Our support team consisted of a team of professionals with prior exposure to the required technology and a commendable support background.

Wipro studied the client’s business model, while spontaneously working on all support requests. We chose to strategically locate our own offshore center close to the client’s offshore business center in India. This eased up all offshore communication processes

We gathered knowledge on the applications being supported. Total lack of documented support information, by the predecessor meant that the we had to not only handle the support issues spontaneously but also take up the additional responsibility of building the knowledge repository. Moreover, the client was also working on revamping the existing Siebel applications. The existing systems were highly complex and thus delayed operational processes. After documenting the knowledge acquired, the offshore team established a sizeable knowledge repository and maintained it. The knowledge base was updated regularly to ensure that every vital information was captured. This constant updation was helpful in handling future operational incompatibilities in the system.

We had a shift roster which ensured that support analysts were rotated periodically between shifts. This ensured high quality round-the-clock support for our client. The offshore team worked in two shifts to cater to the different time zones in the US and EMEA region. With the same team supporting different regional zones, the support process was more streamlined with better understanding of the requirements of the different regions and have a SLA compliance of 90%.

Wipro was also responsible for upgrading the existing Siebel implementation to a new version. This provided a strategic opportunity to harness the information available with the development team, in order to provide better and more informed offshore support for the new version.
