Thinsolutions MSP Select is a package of IT managed services designed to significantly
reduce the burdens of software distribution and other mundane, repetitive technical
administration tasks. MSP Select includes MSP Essential and adds additional support and management
tools extending centralized management to every desktop computer. Following is a list of
MSP Select features and descriptions:
Asset Discovery & Management
Thinsolutions MSP Select provides automatic discovery and zero-touch inventory
gathering of network devices throughout an organization. This provides the fastest
and most-effective enterprise inventory audit for IT software and hardware assets.
We provide dynamic inventory reporting and trend analysis for software and hardware assets,
including available disk space, operating systems in use, installed memory,
and configuration changes over time using intuitive, graphical reporting.
You can confidently negotiate license agreements with graphical usage analysis
license compliance analysis, and license utilization forecasts.
Centralized Patch Management
Security breaches due to outdated patches can lead to financial lost, loss of
sensitive data and even damage your organization's reputation. Many organizations
are finding that regulatory demands also require a robust patch management system be
in place.
Manual, hands-on approaches to managing security patches and other vulnerabilities are
time-consuming, error-prone and expensive - approaching an average industry cost of over
$100 per visit per desktop.
Thinsolutions MSP Select offers regular vulnerability, patch testing, and automated patch
deployment. From simple fully automated patch deployment to script-based automation for
a customized deployment, Thinsolutions delivers a secure and comprehensive enterprise class
automated patch management solution to help keep security holes closed.
Remote Desktop Assistance
Thinsolutions delivers live, on-demand, remote assistance to end users when needed.
Our remote assistance tools are fast, secure and easy for end users. Our technical
consultants are able to remotely control and exchange files with computers on your
network reducing the mean time to issue resolution and avoiding the scheduling, delay,
and high costs of onsite visits. Thinsolutions MSP Select includes 4 hours of remote
desktop assistance each month.
Of course, some issues require a physical presence to resolve, so Thinsolutions has
a variety of onsite service offerings to meet your specific onsite needs. In addition to
Technology Advisor services, MSP Select includes at least 6 hours of onsite assistance
each month. Your Thinsolutions account manager can help define a support plan to meet
your specific needs.
Web-Based Helpdesk
Thinsolutions online helpdesk automates tracking and managing end users' requests
for assistance. Users can submit requests directly via web or email.
Thinsolutions technical staff is automatically alerted to new, overdue and escalated requests.
End users can be updated on the status of their requests via e-mail and are notified when their
request has been received and completed.
Management can review all open service requests and service quality metrics and identify
training needs of individuals or specific topics based on the number of service requests
Web-Based Knowledgebase
Thinsolutions’ web based knowledgebase provides end users the tools they need
for answers to common questions and problems. This saves time spent responding to
identical questions over and over.
This 24/7 self-help knowledgebase will help your organization improve operational
efficiencies and track what elements of your network generate the most user issues.
Once an issue has a solution, it's posted for everyone so that you don't pay to have
it resolved again, and again.
Business Continuity Management
Research shows that 90% of companies that lose their data in a disaster are out
of business within 2 years. Don't let this happen to you!
Thinsolutions will verify that backup and disaster recovery procedures actually work
and are compliant with applicable regulatory standards for your organization.
Although backup verification is among the most mundane topics, it is the cornerstone of
your business continuity planning. In fact, many regulatory standards (i.e. HIPPA) mandate
standards for your backup procedures.
Complete Technology Assessment
After meeting with key personnel to review your organizational goals and objectives,
our technology professionals perform an exhaustive assessment of every aspect of your
network. This process forms a baseline which is compared to both the organization's
objectives and internationally recognized standards such as the IT Infrastructure Library.
Thinsolutions then combines your goals, the baseline and our recommendations in a
comprehensive report addressing your organization’s opportunities and risks.
This report uses easy to understand terms to explains how the latest technological
options apply to your specific situation.
Technology Advisor Program
Many small and medium sized companies could benefit greatly from the experience
and expertise of a Chief Information Technology Officer (CIO). But for these companies,
having such a position is cost prohibitive.
Thinsolutions can fill this need with our Technology Advisor program. We assign a
senior Thinsolutions professional to your company. This person will learn about your
business and study the current status of your IT program. Then we will provide your senior
officers with solid business recommendations and advice. Your Technology Advisor can
even attend your meetings and represent your company when dealing with external technology
providers as well as oversee the implementation of high-level IT programs.
