Our Offshore Maintenance Services allows you to quickly and seamlessly transition your application management duties to Bensoft Systems. With our Ecommerce Maintenance service, maintenance becomes a closely monitored management process. In order to seamlessly transition the responsibility, Bensoft Systems uses a methodology called
Express Management Methodology. This does the following:
•Emphasize rapid transition of the application to Bensoft Systems
• Consist of 3 phases with clear deliverables:
• Knowledge Acquisition
• Simulation
• Transition
Bensoft Systems Software executes the Knowledge Acquisition phase to gain the critical in-depth understanding of existing systems before going live with remote, offshore maintenance. During this phase, the Bensoft Systems on-site team works at the client’s site, with end-users and people maintaining the application. This ensures that user requirements are base lined before starting the next phase.
Complex applications often require a simulation phase where the Bensoft Systems team, while physically at the client site, ensures that the offshore environment and different time zones are replicated correctly before transitioning work offshore.
In the transition phase, a subset of the on-site Bensoft Systems team returns offshore and trains the remainder of the Bensoft Systems team to execute live maintenance and enhancement requests. It is essential that training be completed satisfactorily before the full cutover of operations commence.
Having completed simulation and training, the full cutover takes place wherein the client’s daily maintenance and support operations are moved to the offshore centers in India. Bensoft Systems provides standard 14-hour daily coverage, which, if needed, can be extended to 24 x 7 support, including help desk options.
Depending upon application criticality, one or more Bensoft Systems team members are stationed on-site after the full cutover, to interface between the client and Bensoft Systems offshore teams for ensuring consistent system uptime.
