HP Critical Service (CS) is a comprehensive support solution designed for businesses that run mission-critical applications and cannot tolerate downtime without a significant business impact. CS offers an integrated set of proactive and reactive services and utilizes an ITIL-based framework of proven, integrated processes to help you improve availability and performance across your IT infrastructure. CS provides an assigned account team composed of highly trained IT professionals. This team will form close working relationships with designated members of your IT management staff and will conduct an assessment of your IT infrastructure in order to gain a clear understanding of your IT infrastructure, your IT goals, and your overall business objectives. The assessment’s results are used to design a strategy and an account support plan that aligns CS with your overall IT and business goals. Subsequently, your account team meets with you quarterly to discuss progress against the account support plan and to help maintain ongoing alignment with your business goals.
