Peacock Engineering have introduced recently a full 24x7x365 support facility for its customers. This has previously been handled by an on-call Rota only dealing with high priority (P1) incidents. The volume of this workload and the requirement to provide this facility for all priorities of incidents has dictated that the on-call Rota is no longer sufficient and a new 24x7x365 facility will be implemented in our Bangalore, India office.

The role of an Application Support Consultant is to take calls from the 1^st Level support desk, log those calls in our service desk application, perform diagnostics to ascertain the root cause of the call and then find a solution that is acceptable to the customer – communicating with the customer throughout. Should escalations be required, there will always be at least one manager on call and contactable by telephone.  The nature of these calls may vary, but are likely to be categorized as one of the following: -

• Software bug
• User error
• Administrative requirement
• Infrastructure error
• Invalid data
• Configuration error
• Middleware error
• Lack of understanding
• Change required

Whilst a general understanding and appreciation of IT aspects such as networking, server infrastructure, software, data manipulation and applications is essential, full training will be given on the specific tooling and applications required, together with the processes needed to perform efficient diagnosis and resolution.

 

As the service grows, it is envisaged that the responsibility of additional applications and technologies will be added with additional training given.
