Capability ยท Managed Services

Managed operations under written service levels.

Hardware, software and cloud operated under a single contract: one desk to call, response and restoration times agreed before the contract is signed, and a report every month whether or not anybody asks for it.

Managed Services

Issues flagged early.

LaQuest monitors the estate it built during agreed service hours, Monday to Friday, 9:00 to 18:00 Philippine time, with 24x7 cover available under a separate agreement. When something drifts, a ticket is opened, owned and closed.

What we run

What is inside the service.

Service desk and support

A single route for incidents and requests, with ownership across vendors and platforms.

Monitoring and incident response

Availability, capacity and security events watched and acted on against agreed response times.

Patching, updates and releases

Changes planned, tested and applied in windows that suit your operation.

Backup and continuity

Backups verified and restores rehearsed, so continuity is a practice rather than a promise.

Vendor and licence management

Renewals, entitlements and vendor escalations handled through LaQuest.

Service levels

Our managed service starts at handover.

The project closes, attention moves elsewhere, and the environment enters the long part of its life. We run what we build, and we take on environments other people built. Either way the service runs under written service levels, and these are the numbers we are measured against.

Service desk at support.laquest.net. Monday to Friday, 9:00 to 18:00 PHT, excluding Philippine public holidays. Custom or paid SLAs, such as 24x7 monitoring, are available under separate agreement. Escalation: ticket, then service management, then practice escalation, as set in your agreement.

Why LaQuest

Still accountable, years after go-live.

  • Designed and run by LaQuest

    The company that designed the environment is the one that takes the call about it three years later.

  • Service levels in writing

    Response and restoration agreed before the contract is signed, measured afterwards, and reported in the months that went badly as well as the ones that went well.

  • One accountable partner

    Infrastructure, applications and the security estate under one operator, so issues do not sit between two suppliers.

How it runs

From first conversation to steady state.

Each phase closes with a documented sign-off before the next begins.

  1. 01

    Onboard

    Runbooks, access, monitoring and escalation paths set up for the environment in scope.

  2. 02

    Baseline

    How the environment behaves today, so change and improvement can be measured.

  3. 03

    Operate

    Daily operation against the service levels, with incidents, changes and requests logged and reported.

  4. 04

    Review and improve

    Regular reviews that turn what we see in operation into the next improvements.

Engagement

We run what we built, and what others built.

Run what we built

The platforms and environments LaQuest designed and delivered, operated by LaQuest from go-live onwards.

From go-liveSame operator

Take over what others built

An environment another supplier delivered, assessed, documented, brought to a known baseline and then operated under these service levels.
