Just as yoga stretching helps your body recalibrate and optimise its performance, reevaluating and realigning your approach for Oracle Cloud will maximise value and optimise service experiences.
Embrace a New "Posture" This Summer
This summer, adopting a new ‘posture’ will empower Oracle Cloud Applications Support Managers to contribute to the better health and wellbeing of the organisation’s Oracle Cloud performance. In the second part of our 3-part summer blog series, discover how adopting a new mindset can help you recalibrate and optimise your Oracle Cloud experience. Think of it as a strategic stretch—realigning your Oracle Cloud management approach for greater agility, efficiency, and success. Whether you’re experiencing a failing or stalled implementation or seeking a fresh perspective, VaaS™ offers proactive management and continuous innovation to restore harmony to your Oracle cloud strategy.
Why Choose VaaS™?
de Novo stands out as award-winning pioneers of Oracle Cloud. Our culture of thinking differently and commitment to developing new client sets us apart.
Our energy and innovation have enabled our team of trusted experts to develop VaaS™ into ‘this season’s’ must have accessory for Oracle Cloud managed service support. Unlike traditional support models that often rely on reactive approaches and limited scope, VaaS™ offers a comprehensive, proactive framework that drives continuous improvement and maximises your Oracle Cloud investment.
Today, we engage clients seeking a fresh approach to managed service support delivery. This includes clients looking to recover from a problematic transformation programme, or those whose relationship with their current managed service support partner is no longer effective. Here’s how VaaS™ stands out:
Our Approach
Relationship Management
We assign a dedicated Service Manager who acts as a consistent point of contact for your team. Unlike traditional models, which often operate reactively and address issues as they arise, VaaS™ shifts the focus to proactive management. This manager works to maximise your return on investment in Oracle Cloud by identifying continuous improvement opportunities. They conduct regular strategic and operational service reviews to analyse trends and adapt our approach as needed. Through VaaS™, our Service Manager gains a comprehensive understanding of your short- and long-term aspirations for the system, ensuring we align our delivery with your goals.
Continuous Service Improvement
In contrast to traditional support models that can be static and limited to immediate fixes, VaaS™ emphasises continuous service improvement. Our service delivery managers partner with client stakeholders to assess end-to-end service quality. This involves identifying any areas for improvement and implementing strategies to optimise the overall support service. We leverage data-driven insights and performance metrics to ensure our clients receive maximum value from our services.
Pro-active System Health Checks
Traditional support often involves occasional reviews or health checks. VaaS™ offers regular, in-depth system health checks to identify and address inefficiencies and unmet needs. These evaluations revisit the original business needs, identify what is working or not, and develop a roadmap for improvements. For example, we may recommend enhanced processes or system solutions to address specific issues and unlock greater value from the system, ensuring that your system consistently delivers maximum value.
Pro-active Incident and Problem Management
We employ effective incident and problem management techniques to proactively identify and address recurring issues. By analysing high-traffic ticket areas, we detect trends and root causes, implementing remedial actions to prevent future occurrences. This proactive approach contrasts with traditional models that might only respond to issues after they arise, allowing us to prevent problems before they escalate.
Knowledge Transfer
Traditional models often provide training in isolation from actual support work. VaaS™ integrates knowledge transfer into the service delivery process through hybrid collaborative delivery teams. This holistic approach ensures both formal and informal education opportunities are maximised, fostering collaboration and building internal capabilities. Our goal is to build internal capabilities and empower your teams to manage and utilise the Oracle Cloud system more effectively and independently.
Real-World Examples of VaaS™ in Action
Case Study: Payroll Process Optimisation
In one instance, we worked closely with a client’s payroll team to eliminate manual workarounds. By streamlining operations, we significantly reduced processing time and enhanced the accuracy of payroll payments. This not only improved efficiency but also ensured more reliable payroll operations.
Case Study: Internal Support Training
For another client, we provided training for internal support teams to handle in-house user management and second-line support. This approach reduced external support costs and bolstered internal capabilities, leading to a more self-sufficient and cost-effective support structure.
Case Study: Health Check and System Enhancement
During a transition from a previous support partner, we performed a comprehensive four-week health check across all Oracle Cloud modules. We identified issues, streamlined payroll processes, and reverted to best practice standard designs. This resulted in enhanced system performance and more efficient operations. The transition also included a prioritised improvement roadmap that addressed complex custom solutions, leading to greater efficiency and reliability.
Case Study: Bi-weekly Functional Calls
We established bi-weekly functional calls between de Novo specialists and key users for another client organisation. This ongoing dialogue facilitated the creation of a comprehensive roadmap of initiatives and enhancements, managing improvements alongside regular support and project work. This approach led to better adoption, increased efficiency, and enhanced innovation across all four VaaS™ pillars for the client.
"de Novo's cloud support has been critical in helping us realise the benefit of Oracle Cloud and trust in the solution's capabilities. de Novo has quickly demonstrated how committed they are to understanding both OGAT's needs and those of the wider MAT sector to make optimal use of Oracle and ensure our digital transformation journey is a success. This valued partnership and Value As A Service™ (VaaS™) support model allows us to confidently focus on securing our strategic objectives and we're excited to bring these to fruition with de Novo."
