Beaumont Colson Ltd (BCL) provides a mature, ITIL compliant facility, well liked by its users.
BCL provide second, third and fourth line support to the customer’s service desk function for the correction of incidents, issues and configurations within the CRCD application and infrastructure.
BCL Support Service operates Monday to Friday from 09:00 to 17:00 via its manned service support helpdesk. Third and fourth line support calls are normally escalated to a technical account manager.
BCL standard service response for priority 1 calls is within 1 hour. Service Level Agreements and Key Performance Indicators are included within each service contract.
Unlimited support is included in the cloud hosting costs.
Costs are based on volumes of data held by the customer. - Support available to third parties

Onboarding and offboarding
- Getting started
- CRC Delius is supported by architectural and functional documentation. This is provided during the implementation phase. There are training manuals, the facility to train on-site or remotely, and a range of potential options for guided, independent learning.
- Service documentation
- Yes
- Documentation formats
-
- Other
- Other documentation formats

- End-of-contract data extraction
- The data held locally can be archived, however, much of it will already be copied in National Delius by virtue of the exchange over the SPG.
- End-of-contract process
-
CRC Delius supports a mission critical facility. As such, we would expect that the end of contract activity requires careful planning and is dependent on the customer decision on the successor system. This would be a costed, additional, transition activity.
Should the business be transferred back to the NPS, then the data will already be present in National Delius.

Assessing potential threats:
As part of ISO27001, we use document ISMS06002: Risk Assessment and Treatment Process as an implementation guide to dealing with potential threats to our services. Specifically, the section on Process details our approach to protective monitoring. This document has been tuned to work well for BCL.
Patch deployment:
A measure of discretion is used, however, urgent patches and updates are applied at the first opportunity. We aim to use versions of support libraries and utilities, or deployable items at version n-1 or n where possible.
Potential Threats:
Vendors and community contacts/groups - Protective monitoring type

Pre-defined processes:
BCL documents processes for incidents that may likely happen more than once, or may have a certain regularity. These documents are referenced and updated as systems evolve.
User incident reporting:
This is process is detailed in the above document, in the section titled "Process Narrative".
(Cumulative) Reports on incidents:
Incidents are logged in JIRA, and reports can therefore be produced from the database of these logged incidents.
