Having qualified smart hand services—and an expert NOC team to manage dispatch and on-site work—is essential for maintaining your infrastructure and data. An effectively managed field support team attends to issues both proactively and reactively and can be contacted in a matter of moments, providing immediate response to avoid or minimize downtime or other consequences from unexpected service issues.

All too often, however, downtime needlessly lingers due to ill-equipped or poorly managed field support teams. When corners get cut, the costs of downtime grow as engineers arrive on site without proper equipment or expertise—or inadvertently break delicate systems without the means to repair them.

At INOC, we offer clients the opportunity to work with one of our carefully vetted field support partners, managed by our experienced NOC technicians. We ensure engineers communicate with clients in a professional manner, have the correct equipment and instructions to do the job, and leave the job site clean when they leave.

Consolidate preexisting support costs while improving service quality.

Whether your IT services are managed interneal or externally, the complexity of today’s enterprise infrastructures demands high-quality NOC and field support. Why not work with a single provider with a breadth of technological competence and over two decades of NOC expertise?

Whether you choose to work with a new, INOC-approved provider or retain your existing field support service provider with the addition of our management services, we’ll help you maximize uptime and increase MTTR to get a better return from your field support services.

Our unique NOC-enabled field support service addresses all the major challenges that can impact the quality and reliability of smart hand services:

We carefully vet our smart hands providers to offer clients better-qualified, more professional engineers. This improves the overall service experience and eliminates potential errors resulting from a lack of expertise.
