For optimal handling of all processes within a case, an end-to-end view is important. In particular with regard to the root cause and rectification in multivendor scenarios, the knowledge of the interaction of different technologies and vendors is vital.
With the option of Focused XTAC Supports, Xantaro offers an additional security factor: An XTAC engineer is trained specifically to deal with a particular customer network and assumes all responsibility for the Focused Support.
XCare EOL – Reporting-As-a-Service
Based on the utilisation of Yukon, the Xantaro service engine, in the customer network, Xantaro provides dedicated reporting services to optimize and ensure reliable network operation and to simplify troubleshooting.
With the XCare End-of-Life reporting system, Xantaro takes care of analysing the life cycle of all components covered by XCare maintenance. Service step-downs such as end-of-life, end-of-service etc. are duly documented in a detailed report, making it easy to identify the resulting need for action.
XCare Building Blocks
The Xantaro maintenance services are characterised by the Xantaro Technical Assistance Center (XTAC) as the central interface for any technical support, by a dedicated Service Management as well as Service Delivery & Contract Management and Field Service & Logistics.
Based on long-standing experience in the maintenance of high-performance networks, the teams provide contract management and high-touch support in a professional and experienced manner to ensure the performance and availability of the network.
The Xantaro Technical Assistance Center – XTAC – is the central interface for all technology-related subjects for all Xantaro products and solutions. The team consists of dedicated engineers delivering 24 hours a day, 365 days a year high-touch support to customers based on long-standing experience in troubleshooting complex multi-vendor environments.
In the event of a problem, XTAC takes over the communication on a level playing field and directly coordinates possible solutions with the customer. Professional and promp troubleshooting is ensured by a ticket system through which automatic escalation processes take effect according to the priority of a fault, until all affected services are fully recovered.
Furthermore, depending on the contractual service agreement stipulations, XTAC coordinates the Logistics and Field Service for example for proper RMA handling or for the de-installation of defective equipment and installation of the replacement components by continuously trained Field Service Engineers on-site.
