Enablement, under every layer

Tiered support with SLAs, and architects who stay.

Managed support is a standing team that runs and improves the platform after the project ends. Atlas Bench takes the administration, the backlog, and the platform roadmap, so improvement continues instead of stopping at handover.

Run-layer support with defined SLAs, plus embedded architects and admins who work inside your team rather than around it.

The problem

Support that does not know your architecture produces answers you have to check. The ticket closes, the underlying cause stays, and the same question arrives next month from a different team.

The other failure is quieter. An estate with no dedicated administrator drifts. Legacy categories nobody uses, automation written for cases that no longer occur, permissions granted for a project that ended. None of it breaks loudly. All of it makes the next change harder.

What the work is

Tiered support with SLAs

A defined response and resolution model by severity, staffed by the practice that designs the platform rather than by a separate queue.

Platform administration

Day-to-day configuration, request types, workflows, permissions, and the changes that would otherwise wait for a project.

Identity operations

Access requests, group changes, provisioning exceptions, and the recurring reviews, run as an operation rather than as a project.

Embedded architects and administrators

Named people working inside your team, your standups, and your change process, at whatever level you need.

Release and upgrade management

Tracking platform changes, assessing what affects your configuration, and acting before it becomes an incident.

Continuous improvement

A standing backlog of the debt found while running the estate, prioritized with you rather than quietly absorbed.

Training and adoption

Cohort training on your workflows, administrator enablement, and onboarding material that stays current.

How it runs

  1. Onboarding

    2 to 3 weeks

    Estate review, runbook capture, access and escalation setup, and agreeing what each severity actually means in your context.

  2. Stabilization

    first 60 to 90 days

    Working the inherited backlog, fixing what causes repeat tickets, and documenting what was never written down.

  3. Steady state

    ongoing

    Tiered support against the agreed SLAs, platform administration, identity operations, and a standing improvement backlog.

  4. Quarterly review

    each quarter

    Volume, SLA performance, recurring causes, and what to change next. This is where the run layer either earns its place or gets adjusted.

What you get

  • A tiered support model with defined response and resolution targets by severity
  • Runbooks covering your configuration, integrations, and escalation paths
  • Named architects and administrators, embedded at the level you need
  • Identity operations: access requests, group changes, and recurring access reviews
  • Release and upgrade assessments against your own configuration
  • A standing improvement backlog, prioritized with you rather than absorbed
  • SLA, volume, and recurring-cause reporting
  • A quarterly review with the people who own the platform

Questions we get

Is this a help desk?
No. Your help desk answers your users. This is the layer that keeps the platform itself correct: configuration, permissions, integrations, and the changes that would otherwise wait for a project.
What are the SLAs?
Response and resolution targets by severity, agreed during onboarding against what your business actually needs. Severity definitions get written down, because that is the part that causes disputes later.
Can we start with a few hours a week?
Yes. Embedded support scales from a fraction of a person to a full workstream, and moving between them is a conversation rather than a renegotiation.
Do we get the same people each time?
Named people, yes. That is most of the point. Continuity is what makes an escalation cheap.
What if we already have an administrator?
Then this augments rather than replaces. Most internal administrators are one person covering a platform that assumes a team, and the gaps are usually identity operations and release management.
How do we know it is working?
Ticket volume, SLA performance, and recurring causes, reviewed quarterly. If volume is not trending down across a year, something is wrong with the improvement backlog.

Find out what you are actually running.

Fixed scope. The assessment reads the estate as it is: instances, schemes, licensing, and the decisions a migration would force you to make anyway. You get the findings, the ownership gaps, and the order to close them in.
