There are two mayor pillars of IT continuity: OPS (Applications Management, DataBase Management, Monitoring etc.) and Infrastructure Management (Availability of Hardware, Network, Data Storage etc.). It is a core of IT functionality of any modern organization. Without OPS and IM there is no availability and therefore also no continuity. Within IT landscape, there are various teams that fall into those two categories, working 24/7/365 to provide support and maintain permanent availability and continuity. In case of calamity (prio 1 and 2 incidents), additional resources are attached and crisis teams are being assembled to reestablish availability a.s.a.p.
Even in times of "business as usual" this might sometimes pose a very serious challenge, as not all needed IT specialists are constantly available due to sickness, vacation leave or any other internal or external factors. And even without calamities, someone must maintain operational mode of systems and infra all the time, just to keep things up and running. So what can an IT organization do when her own IT specialists are unavailable in crucial moments of need and all other options are exhausted, systems are unguarded or even unavailable, and continuity is compromised? They can call us and request our temporary Remote IT Support! It's your last line of defense when all other options are exhausted and your organizations is facing interruptions in its core IT processes. It is a back-up of the back-up, designed to limit damage to your IT operational availability as much as possible.

We need all appropriate authorizations (OS user, APP user, DB user, batch scheduling overview, monitoring and such), contact lists (in English or Dutch), system documentations and written maintenance procedures and protocols. Authorizations are usually obtained in fastest way if clone of existing user is being made. We also need access to your ticketing system with search functionality so that we can, if required, dig in your incident history and look for previously implemented solutions.
