Business Challenge
Finance company's Internet went down after-hours, when no one was in the office. Staff would not be able to perform their jobs in the morning if they arrived at the office with no Internet.
Solution
For our Managed Service Customers, we monitor all Internet Service Providers (ISPs) 24x7. We received an alert late Friday evening that their internet was down. An ABT on-call technician received the alert, contacted the ISP immediately and started trouble shooting the issue. The office manager was notified of the alert and that we were working on it. The ISP and ABT technician dispatched and met on-site over the weekend. ABT, being a trusted partner, had after-hours access to the building via security code and key. ABT and the ISP resolved the issue by replacing the failed hardware.
Result
Internet issue was resolved over the weekend so the office was ready for work on Monday morning. Office manager was kept up to date without interrupting their weekend time off.
