Overview
Comprehensive support services for network infrastructures
Highly available and reliable telephony services form a key cornerstone for ensuring customer satisfaction. However, since this is not a sure-fire success, SilverEngine recommends and supports a holistic service for EWSD, hiE9200, hiS700 and NetManager along the product lifecycle.
Our service portfolio
SilverEngine offers a holistic service portfolio from analysis, monitoring and maintenance to upgrades and training.
The technological transformation of network infrastructures and, in particular, the consolidation of switches also impacts on the personnel situation at the telecommunications firms. To ensure a smooth telephony service, selected services related to the operation of the network can be outsourced to SilverEngine.
In addition to operations and preventive services, SilverEngine supports its customers in the event of network failures with comprehensive emergency support extending as far as disaster recovery support.
