MAS services into practice
Our organization is internally organized based on the ASL (Application Support Library) method. This consists of the following priority areas: contract-, planning-, quality-, financial- and supplier-management.
The customer will have his own portal linked with our helpdesk and can monitor all certain priority areas. A dashboard is available to show the status of: outstanding incidents, change requests and support questions overall. For incidents we will follow the procedure as agreed in the contract. Every incident will be assessed on urgency and impact. For regular maintenance every stakeholder has the possibility to request for a software change (RFC). Depending on the priority and the classification, given by the stakeholders, the RFC will be assigned to the backlog in a certain (scrum) sprint. At fixed times we will report about the overall state of progress at operational level. Evaluation of the delivered performance on a management level can be scheduled at each desired moment.
