The Retained Service plan reduces overall costs and offers direct benefits for many customer organizations with a variety of different issues, including those with staffing limitations and companies lacking in-house expertise for certain roles. Retained Services are also valuable when desiring to optimize software or simply to better leverage existing investments. This offering can pair support engineers who will work with the existing staff or supplement functions the company lacks.
“Retained Services is like having experts ‘in the cloud,’” said John Rhodes, CTO. “When additional staff is needed, or specific skills required to supplement in-house resources, this on-demand offering can ensure success of critical projects.”
