Cloud operations services available to all of our QPR Cloud Customers

The primary purpose of QPR Technical Services and the management practices is to ensure the usability of the QPR Cloud environment and to minimize adverse effects on operation and use.

QPR Customer Care (Service Desk)

QPR Customer Care provides a clear path for users to report incidents, queries and requests, and have them acknowledged, classified, assigned, and actioned. QPR Customer Care is responsible for providing a superior level of support that allows our customers to fully utilize QPR Cloud solutions and achieve their goals. The QPR Customer Care team works in close co-operation with QPR product development and consultants to provide customers the best possible support for all technical questions.

Problem Management

Purpose of the problem management practice is to reduce the likelihood and impact of incidents by identifying actual and potential causes of incidents and managing workarounds and known errors.

Cloud Security Management

The purpose of the cloud security management is to protect the information stored and utilized by the QPR Cloud Customers. The required security is established by means of policies, processes, behaviors, risk management, and controls which relates to

  • Prevention; Ensuring that security incidents do not occur
  • Detection; Rapidly and reliably detecting incidents that can’t be prevented
  • Correction; Recovering from incidents after they are detected

Release and Deployment Management

The purpose of release and deployment management is to make new and changed services and features available for use and to move them to live QPR Cloud environments. Release and deployment management works closely with the change control practice.

QPR Product Maintenance

QPR product maintenance involves product modification to resolve issues and product repairs to resolve failures. Modifications and fixes are delivered at no additional cost as Service Packs to all QPR Cloud Customers. QPR Cloud Customers get the latest versions in to use through the release and deployment management practice.

Incident Management

Main purpose of the incident management is to minimize the negative impact of incidents by restoring normal service operations as quickly as possible. QPR Cloud Customers can report incidents to QPR Customer Care through email or by phone. Incidents can also come through the QPR Cloud event management monitoring services.

Monitoring and Event Management

The purpose of the monitoring and event management practice is to systematically observe QPR Cloud services and service components, and record and report selected changes of state identified as events. This practice identifies and prioritizes infrastructure, services, business processes, and information security events, and establishes the appropriate response to those events, including responding to conditions that could lead to potential faults or incidents.

Change Control

The purpose of the change control practice is to maximize the number of successful QPR Cloud service and product changes by ensuring that risks have been properly assessed, authorizing changes to proceed, and managing the change schedule. Change control includes all changes in infrastructure, applications, documentation, processes, supplier relationships, and anything else that might directly or indirectly impact a QPR Cloud product or service.

Infrastructure and Platform Service

The purpose of the infrastructure and platform service is to oversee the infrastructure and platforms used by QPR Cloud customers. This consists of resources, such as application servers, database servers, storage, networks, middleware and operating systems software, that provide the environments needed to deliver QPR solutions as service from cloud.
