OCS Consulting provides a full range of Application and Technical Support Services

Application Support Services

For over 40 years OCS Consulting have been assisting organisations in running efficient and effective application support functions. In this time, OCS has gained an understanding that the roles in this area require a wide variety of skills. Technical knowledge is clearly important but almost of equal importance are the communication, management and customer service skills required to manage and resolve not just the issue but the impact of the issue on the business users also.

OCS provides a range of services to assist organisations in Application Support, namely:

  • Full Service Managed Application Support (on-site or off-site)
  • Any combination of service levels from Helpdesk to 3rd line services
  • Provision of resources, consultants to client teams across 1st, 2nd or 3rd line.

Application Support Analysts

Application Support Analysts are a unique combination of problem solvers with strong all round technical skills, personable and have excellent communication skills. These analysts are the success factor in delivering a great service and at OCS we believe our consultants and the characteristics we value make our employees exceptional in this area.  As with all OCS' resourcing services, OCS employees come with the added advantage that they remain with us long after the assignment ends and therefore investment in their unique client knowledge is retained and can be used time again.
