TECHNICAL SKILLS SERVICES

Access to technical resources - how and when you need them

Get in Touch

Do you have a skills shortage? Need help with project management? Do you have seasonal demand? Need help for maternity/sick cover? Do you require a fully outsourced service? Need to fill a temporary gap?

At Daisy, we like to help customers bridge technology gaps and remove risks by providing experienced people – either on a syndicated ad-hoc basis or as a dedicated resource for a fixed time. Our Technical Skills Services offer flexibility and are ideal for organisations who want to manage their own environment but still have access to skilled technical resources when required.

Remote Technical Support and Advice

Designed for customers who use their own in-house resources for day-to-day service administration and configuration tasks, yet require access to expert technical support, we can offer expertise across our Cloud & Desktop, LAN & WiFi and Unified Communications solutions whenever required.

This level of technical assistance is a core element of our Technical Skills Services. It is suited to in-house operational teams with day-to-day management responsibility for platforms but who do not have a deep knowledge of all the supporting technologies. Daisy provides access to specialist knowledge or advice to either assist with planning a change, or because an element is not functioning as expected and help is required to restore service.

As part of this service offering, we work with vendors such as Microsoft, Cisco and Mitel to ensure technical language is understood and communicated.

 

Key benefits

Expertise – access to experienced and accredited engineers
Responsiveness – a guaranteed response backed by defined SLAs
Flexibility – ability to procure regular assistance from as little as three and up to a maximum of 30 hours per month

Access to remote technical advice is provided for a specified number of hours per month, which is tracked over a three-month rolling period. This service is available during normal business hours, although an uplift to 24×7 access for priority incidents is also available where necessary.

We will provide remote technical advice and assistance on an hourly basis, including:

  • Service performance issues
  • Configuration issues
  • Integration with other elements of the customer’s environment

Rapid IT Workforce

Through our Rapid IT Workforce service, we deliver professional services when customers either have a gap in their own IT resources or need support during particularly busy periods. This can mean covering annual leave or long-term sick leave; bridging a gap while recruiting for a new starter or providing a niche skill not currently covered by in-house personnel.

As part of the service, we work with a trusted partner to carry out a full assessment that ensures customers, Daisy and the contractor fulfil all requirements for IR35 so there are no surprises. Our HR team partners with an expert third party legal expert to provide advice and assessments on specific roles and cover all the paperwork required for a Status Determination Statement. This ensures that all parties have the off-payroll working rules and avoids the risk of hefty fines.
