PMC Scales Up Service Provision to ISV Customer in response to Coronavirus Crisis

During the weeks of Coronavirus lockdown, PMC has responded to changing business needs and adapted quickly to maintain service levels for all customers, including ISVs (independent software vendors) who whitelabel our services.

Back in March, ahead of the Coronavirus lockdown, PMC immediately transitioned all teams, including those dedicated to PMC's ISV customer, to home working. The teams delivering Level 2 Application Support and Proactive Monitoring had been 100% office based prior to the Covid-19 crisis .

In response to a request from our ISV customer, PMC also implemented significant changes to the rota and shift patterns for the PMC Level 2 Support team. These changes transferred full responsibility for evening and weekend working to the India-based PMC teams and ensured continuity of key services, whilst reducing the need for the ISV’s own UK analysts to work evenings and weekends.

As retailers prepare for the gradual easing of the sector’s lockdown from June 1^st, PMC continues to provide uninterrupted IT Managed Services and Support. Our teams are ideally placed to respond again as Retailers plot their course to the safe reopening stores and the resumption of trading.
