Available now, these new Seismic service and support offerings help solution providers and MSP (managed service provider) partners lower operating costs while dramatically increasing service and support capabilities. Each service can be sold separately or bundled together as part of a complete Seismic managed services solution. The offerings include:
- Seismic Managed NOC -- Interoperable with most remote management and
monitoring tools, the Seismic Virtual NOC offers partners a low-cost,
hassle-free solution to outsourcing and managing routine network and
desktop maintenance and monitoring. Based in the United States, the
Seismic Managed NOC helps partners maximize their remote monitoring
capabilities and allows their engineers to focus on high-end
implementations and on-site client projects.
- Seismic Managed Help Desk -- Designed to enhance customer service and
satisfaction while driving down operating costs, the Seismic Managed
Help Desk offers an affordable and reliable means for partners to
deliver 24/7 remote support to clients. Like the Seismic Managed NOC,
the Seismic Managed Help Desk can be privately labeled by the solution
provider to ensure a consistent customer-service experience. Partners
can purchase the Seismic Managed Help Desk on a point-based system or
through unlimited annual calls per end-user.
- Seismic PSA Software, powered by Autotask -- To help partners improve
service desk productivity and operational efficiencies, Ingram Micro
has partnered with Autotask to deliver the industry-leading PSA
application. Renowned for its functionality, the Autotask PSA software
is interoperable with the Seismic Managed Workplace and available for
purchase through Ingram Micro.
- Seismic E-mail and Web Defense Services, powered by MX Logic -- These two new hosted offerings provide Seismic partners with an affordable way to incorporate email and Web protection services into their existing managed services offerings. Working in conjunction with the Seismic Managed Workplace and Virtual NOC, the Seismic E-mail and Web Defense offerings will provide an effective first line of defense at the network perimeter to prevent vulnerabilities and threats such as spam, worms and spyware from entering a managed network.
"Seismic's mission is to help our partners succeed with managed services by alleviating barriers to entry, advocating best practices and offering partners access to an increasing array of affordable and proven MSP services and support resources," says Justin Crotty, vice president, services, Ingram Micro North America. "With the addition of the Seismic Managed NOC, Managed Help Desk, E-mail and Web Defense Services, and PSA Software, Ingram Micro has established the infrastructure support and platform flexibility our partners need to grow their businesses and be successful long-term."
