The need for good account management

For our contracted support customers, Utilize has always considered strong account management to be an essential part of the service we provide. Failure to prepare is to prepare for failure. So read how Utilize plans to shape the future of your network.

Whilst our role is to relieve you of the burden of day-to-day IT issues, it is still vitally important for us to review your system performance at regular intervals with Directors and IT managers. There are three principle reasons that we ask our account managers to schedule regular meetings with our contracted clients are:

1)  To keep you informed of changes in technology that may affect your network

2)  To assess the needs of your business and plan your future IT strategies

3)  To review our own performance

Keeping you up to speed

In a fast-moving industry like ours, significant on-going investment is required to keep consultants abreast of all the latest technologies. Utilize staff regularly undergo training with all major partners and, unlike many of our competitors who tend to guard this information for themselves, we prefer to share it. After all, how can you plan for your future IT requirements without a basic understanding of the latest online threats, operating system updates and compliance changes that affect your network?

Planning future strategies

We know that your IT systems form the backbone to your business and that IT investment needs to be planned proactively in advance. That’s why Utilize account managers will regularly help review essential aspects of your IT systems such as Internet bandwidth, storage capacity, software licencing and backup requirements.

Businesses today are also increasingly concerned with disaster recovery planning and, thanks to our detailed knowledge of your network, the best place to begin is with Utilize. Your account manager can play a key role in your business continuity planning as well as advising how best to attribute your budgets in other important areas.

We want to know how we’re performing

Just as it is important for us to monitor the performance of your IT systems, it is also essential that we check our own performance in responding to any network faults. That’s why we endeavour to keep an open dialogue with clients to ensure that standards never slip and complacency never sets in. Your Utilize account manager works closely with our service department and will ensure that all customer feedback - both good and bad - is channelled back to the appropriate team.
