We have defined the Pegasus Insourcing Methodology^SM to provide cost-effective Managed Operational Services, such as a 24x7 support for a data center or an ongoing production support for a legacy application.  This role-based methodology is applied to deliver consistent, repeatable, and high-quality operational services.  The services can either be used on an ongoing basis or just to jumpstart adoption of technologies within the client organization.

We offer Managed Operational Services in the following areas:

3rd Party Tools--Administration and Production Support.

IT Infrastructure--Systems, Networks and Databases--Administration and Production Support.

Custom, 3rd Party, and Legacy Applications--Administration and Production Support.

Service delivery is managed by experienced Engagement Managers, who work with client staff and serve as the single-point of contact for client’s management.  Depending on the clients’ needs, the Engagement Managers may be located on-site.  The service delivery team typically includes a technical lead, and is tailored to the specific needs of the client.  A consistently high quality of service delivery is guaranteed through Service-Level Agreements (SLAs) and regular reports that track key performance metrics.

PEGASUS INSOURCING METHODOLOGY^SM

The Pegasus Insourcing Methodology^SM is a role-based methodology for delivering Managed Operational Services in four phases:

Transition-In:  Knowledge about the hardware and software infrastructure to be supported is captured, roles and activities are analyzed, and the external interactions are documented to create a repeatable process for service delivery.  Operational metrics are defined from historical information to create a baseline for improving the service delivery.

Ongoing Support:  Pegasus staff provides the operations service on an ongoing basis using the established repeatable processes.  Metrics defined in the Transition-In phase are collected as an integral part of the process.  The Knowledge Base is updated to reflect any changes in operational procedures.

Continuous Process Improvement:  This phase seeks iterative improvements in the operational services by studying the metrics and customer feedback.  New tools and technologies are evaluated for the purpose of improving services and making service delivery more cost-effective.  The scope of this phase is at the discretion of the client.

Transition-Out:  This is an optional phase that occurs if the client wishes to transition ongoing support responsibilities to their own staff.  Since we build up the Knowledge Base, we can train and mentor client staff as they are hired.   Because of our scalable role-based approach, client staff can begin fulfilling the roles once they are adequately trained, resulting in a smooth transition.   Our methodology specifies the process of how the transitions are performed.

BENEFITS TO CLIENTS

§         Cost containment through consolidation of services.

§         Avoid repetitive role syndrome for client technical staff—we can take over such support tasks.

§         Onsite Pegasus staff backed up by skilled pool of Pegasus consultants.

§         A consistently high quality of service guaranteed through SLAs.

§         Organizational knowledge retention as we build a Knowledge Base and FAQs.

§         Smooth transitions on staff turnover, because of an emphasis on roles rather than individuals fulfilling a role.  Replacement staff are trained and mentored in the documented operational procedures for the roles they will fulfill, so that they can hit the ground running.

§         Allow clients to jumpstart adoption of technologies within their organization without having trained staff in place.  Operational knowledge is smoothly transferred to and retained by client organization as client staff is hired, trained, and mentored by Pegasus to take over defined roles.

§         We guarantee staffing levels for all hours of operation and provide trained replacement staff in the event of holidays, vacations, sick leave, and employee turnover.

§         We provide management with reports that track key performance metrics as well as technology evaluations.

§         Our close relationships with tool vendors and industry experts ensure that the client obtains the benefit of state-of-the-art technologies.
