Leading communications solutions and services provider selects Remedy’s Action Request System for business operations
EGHAM, Surrey; 10 February 2004 — Remedy®, a BMC Software company (NYSE:BMC), today announced that award-winning communications solutions and services provider, Total Network Solutions has implemented Remedy’s Action Request System® (AR System®), across its business operations. Deployment of AR System is part of a total upgrade to Total Network Solutions’ BS7799-2 accredited managed services centre.
Established in 1991, Total Network Solutions has received awards and recognition from organisations such as Dun & Bradstreet, Deloitte & Touche, Nabarro Nathanson and Ernst & Young. The company has grown its own customer base to include Abbey National Offshore, British Red Cross, BT Global Services, Zurich Financial Services and British Airways.
“The infrastructure upgrade within our managed services centre was necessary to help meet a 300% growth in business experienced in the last 12 months,” said Mike Harris, Managing Director, Total Network Solutions. “Remedy’s AR System allows us to keep ahead of the demands of our expanding business and maintain our leading market position by replacing outdated systems with workflow automation systems that speed up the handling of unique processes and optimise user productivity. The Remedy solution was implemented well within specified timeframes and we envisage additional significant service improvements as Remedy helps us to further refine our service proposition and meet our ambitious growth targets for managed services over the next five years.”
Total Network Solutions selected Remedy following a comprehensive tender process that included in-depth evaluation of 11 other leading solutions. Implementation was conducted over two phases. The first focused on deployment at the TNS network service management centre, which delivers 24/7 service support. The second phase involved integration of Remedy with customer call control systems to enhance the level of customer service provided by the Project Management team and improve customer visibility.
“Remedy’s AR System is known for allowing customers to implement service applications that provide a 360 degree customer view,” said Elva Pearson, UK Regional Sales Director, Remedy. “With business growth in managed services running at 300%, there was an immediate requirement for Total Network Solutions to integrate information from disparate departments to support enterprise-wide business processes. This is being achieved through deployment of a dynamic service application with the flexibility to evolve as business needs change, whilst ensuring the highest levels of customer service are maintained. The AR System development platform provides the flexibility to support development of bespoke solutions that provide greater insight to customer service levels and allow Total Network Solutions to maintain its market leading position.”
The AR System development platform is the foundation for Remedy’s best practices, out-of-the-box applications, and provides customers with an environment in which both packaged and customised Remedy applications can be easily adapted to meet the unique and changing requirements of each individual organisation.
