IT Technical Services: Networked Systems

Today’s technology automates more business processes, improves the productivity of more users, and supports more business operations than ever before. But technology – from the data center to remote environments – has become quite complex.

TWD provides comprehensive IT technical services and networked systems support for your business-critical technology environments. Our skilled team of professionals applies industry-recognized best practices – including the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) framework, PMI, Lean/Six Sigma, and COBIT – to drive efficiencies and to ensure that your IT operations, infrastructure, and assets are optimized for performance and reliability.

Delivering Superior Services

TWD provides a wide range of IT services and networked systems support including:

We utilize the ITIL framework to manage the lifecycle of your IT service, beginning with the development of a service strategy that meets your requirements and that is consistent with the support services across our contract portfolio. Our team facilitates the service design – in accordance with contract requirements – through the transition of the service into your production environment. The team establishes a service desk, which ultimately is responsible for ensuring that the day-to-day delivery of our IT services is consistent with your overall business strategy.

Throughout the process, TWD works with you and your stakeholders and uses the tenants of ITIL’s service operation lifecycle to identify and define the critical success factors and key performance indicators associated with each of our IT services.

Following is a summary of the functions and processes commonly used by TWD to deliver our IT services:

Processes:

• Event Management – TWD is engaged actively in system monitoring to ensure the detection of events and anomalies that have the potential to impact the delivery of services. Our team categorizes system events into groups based on the potential severity of loss. The team then works to mitigate the disruption in a manner geared towards restoring service as soon as possible.
