TRIO IT Services: Not Just Fixing But Avoiding the Problem

CIO Vendor Counting on a managed service provider(MSP)for a subset of one’s business’IT services can be a blessing. More than just head-busting a specific domain such as email hosting or customer relationship management, having an MSP as part of a business’ IT mix can free up internal IT staff for more strategic projects. But establishing a strong, strategic partnership with an MSP is the real deal. At the same time, strategic MSP use need not be confined to commodity IT services. A great number of CIOs keep their eyes out for MSPs that can deliver a wider scope of advanced services, including cloud infrastructure management, application management, and security managed services. Michael Martin, CEO at Trio IT Services explains how every CIO is deeply focused in a particular methodology that widens the scope into monitoring and maintaining. This refers to the apps and servers that can be under cloud or on premise. However, these CIOs,due to business pressure miss to look at the application health /application security and most certainly,miss to perform any application risk assessment about their app or network.

Headquartered in Bangalore and established in 2008, Trio IT Services has been filling in the voids in IT processes of organizations with a comprehensive portfolio of managed services. “Our main model is to provide a holistic comprehensive service”, says Michael. General discussions of managed services involve topics like application uptime, business uptime, and network uptime etc. However, Trio IT Services captures the essence of managed ITservices in a holistic or comprehensive 360-degreeview from monitoring, maintenance, performance tuning, health checks, security and Automation under a service framework.

Trio IT takes adequate and relevant steps to ensure that risk and challenges are eliminated throughout the network infrastructure. These risks can include any thing from how secure one’s data is, how can a business owner manage putting up an architecture, to where that business owner can have on premise cloud and provide a disaster recovery. The company takes a micro perspective at it with every kind of recovery possibilities like DRM, and security. Following this, the Trio IT Services team ensures that the application and the infrastructure are fine-tuned to avoid any foreseen risk in the future. This managed service provider undertakes vulnerability assessment, and security assessment as a part of comprehensive managed service.

Building their managed services in an agile methodology is the company’s second-best strategy. This is in order to make their services dynamically adapt to the complexities in the business at any given instance of time. Typically, to implement the change in any IT organization is a challenge and it takes considerable time to adjust to new changes. However, Trio IT’s service framework is designed keeping the client’s business perspective in mind. When approached, Trio IT team of specialists reach out to the customer from a holistic path and look at it at a 360 degree angle. “This helps us to actually know what is impacting the issue at hand”, explains Michael. In an instance, one of Trio IT’s clients was dealing with other vendors for MS Dynamics NAV Services. Trio IT’s expert services did not just move the client to a latest version but also reduced the cost in a deploy able way. An approximate of 40 lakhs was saved as cost cutting in this process. Trio understands the software licensing models as well. In its process to understand the client’s business, Trio IT Services gets well acquainted with the infrastructure and the application statistics. This gives the company an edge to identify the nodes which can lead to the overall business enhancements.

In a similar venture as above, Trio IT came across a client that was being handled by 100+ teams. By deploying automation, Trio was able to bring the numbers down to managing the entire setup within 6 months with only 15 people. The offering made was of only a single price for the whole setup. With Trio IT deploying automation for its clients, a business need not turn up the IT costs, since the setup proposed by Trio team can help the business to grow from1 to any number of Infrastructure device/servers. “The point is that our service model covers everything for customers- whether its security app, recovery of the app, infrastructure app, uptime and performance, maintenance or self-checkups. We deploy simple automation solutions and hence manage the growth and the complexities of the businesses”, elaborate Michael.

A Walk through Trio ITs Approach
Michael explains their value proposition and a walk through the company’s problem solving skills. The first phase as the CEO tells is
the Walk Phase. This allows Trio team to take decision depending on the size of the client organization. Walk phase in Trio IT’s terminology refers to doing exactly what the customer is doing in order to understand their technology, processes and business expectations first hand. This brilliant execution helps Trio IT to understand the intricacies of the organization and their expectations. The next 2-3 months is invested in something Michael calls ‘Run phase’. This is where the Trio IT team emerges with the plan to prioritize the automation goals, based on analysis, trends and requisites. Post the above two processes, the company moves ahead with the deployment phase. “Basically by the end of the first year of our project undertaking, the client can see the impact of what we do and how we support him in a very impactful way”, adds Michael.
