Support Model

• On Site support teams to report to their local command center when their shift begins
• They are the first point of contact for end user with ctcLink issues
• As needed, assist users as users process transactions
• If the issue can be resolved immediately:– Resolve the issue– Log issue and resolution at https://servicedesk.ctclink.us– Report out at daily meeting
• Log service desk tickets (encourage end users to log tickets)
On-Site Support Role (Boots on Ground)

Cutover Day 1 Week 1-4 Month 1-2 Month 3 Month 4-6
ctcLink Team activity extends around the clock
Long periods of waiting followed by intense spurts of activity
Long hours, getting by on adrenalin as excitement builds
Project focused on critical issue resolution
On Site Support spend day on their feet showing people the system
Users heavily reliant on support (reference materials, floor walkers)
End user excitement in the morning may fade by midday
Long day due to issues and unfamiliarity
Project members often have sense of anticlimax
Processing still slow and issues regularly identified - employees and the project working closely together
Many incidents getting logged for user knowledge problems
On Site Support becomes more involved in issue resolution, not just immediate usage questions
Unexpected system issues decrease but continue until period close
Habits may form –including completing processes, process for getting assistance, and unapproved workarounds
On Site Support progressively move to mixed support / work mode
Support ownership transferred from project to ongoing support team (with project assistance)
Project team presence decreases rapidly
Majority of processes transacted so unexpected issues increasingly rare
Most users transacting comfortably to ctcLink
System progressing towards steady state
Understanding of reports and ability to interpret grows with increasing data in system - may change business metrics and practices
