Delivery Governance

Process & Governance

Every BAY IT engagement runs on documented procedures — from first onboarding call to monthly reporting. Process is not a differentiator we claim; it is the operational standard we hold every resource to.

Phase 1

Partner Onboarding

Structured onboarding designed to deploy resources into your environment with zero disruption to your existing delivery operations.

01

Discovery Call

30-minute call to assess partner fit, scope resource requirements, and confirm compliance obligations. No commitment required.

Timeline: Day 0
02

Agreement & NDA

Partner agreement executed including NDA, non-solicitation clause, SLA schedule, and data handling terms. All standard — no negotiation required for baseline terms.

Timeline: Day 1–2
03

Environment Briefing

BAY IT delivery manager reviews your client roster, PSA structure, escalation paths, and documentation standards. Resources complete tool access provisioning.

Timeline: Day 3–5
04

Shadow Period

Resources shadow your existing delivery workflow for 24–48 hours before handling live tickets. Quality checked against your standards before going live.

Timeline: Day 5–7
05

Go Live

Resources active in your queue, operating under your brand. Weekly check-in call with delivery manager scheduled for first 30 days.

Timeline: Day 7–10
Phase 2

Service Delivery Lifecycle

Ongoing delivery governance that keeps SLA performance, ticket quality, and partner visibility consistently high.

Ticket Intake & Triage

All inbound tickets assessed against priority matrix within SLA acknowledgment window. Assigned to appropriate tier resource based on complexity classification.

Resolution & Documentation

Resolution documented in your PSA format. Time entries logged against correct billing codes. Client-visible notes reviewed against your communication standards before posting.

Escalation Protocol

Issues beyond scope escalated to your designated internal contact via defined path — not directly to end clients. Escalation path documented per client in onboarding runbook.

Weekly Performance Report

Ticket volume, SLA compliance rate, average resolution time, and open items delivered to your operations manager every Monday. Data extracted directly from your PSA.

Monthly Partner Review

30-minute review with your delivery manager covering performance trends, resource utilization, capacity adjustments, and forward planning for upcoming projects or client changes.

Capacity Right-Sizing

Seat count adjusted on 30-day notice in either direction. No penalty for scaling down. Expansion capacity typically available within 5–10 business days.

Phase 3

Incident & Change Management

Structured procedures for security incidents and change requests — designed to align with your existing ITSM processes.

Incident Management

P1
Critical — Service Down
Acknowledge: 15 min · Escalate: 30 min · Partner notify: immediate
P2
High — Degraded Service
Acknowledge: 1 hr · Escalate as needed · Partner notify: 2 hr
P3
Standard — Single User
Acknowledge: 4 hr · Resolve within SLA window
Post-Incident

P1/P2 incidents receive a written post-incident report within 24 hours, including root cause analysis, timeline, and recommended preventive action.

Change Management

Standard Changes

Pre-approved, low-risk changes (patch deployment, user provisioning) executed within documented runbooks. Logged in PSA with completion note.

Normal Changes

Planned changes with potential client impact submitted to your change approval workflow. BAY IT does not execute normal changes without partner sign-off.

Emergency Changes

Unplanned changes required to restore service executed with verbal partner authorization, followed immediately by written change record and impact note.

Visibility

Reporting & Metrics

Your operations manager has complete visibility into delivery performance. No hidden metrics, no filtered reports.

  • Project delivery summary

Phase 4

Continuous Improvement

BAY IT operates on a continuous improvement cycle — reviewing performance data, resource feedback, and partner satisfaction quarterly to identify operational improvements before they become incidents.

Partners are not passive recipients of this process. Your delivery manager presents improvement findings during the quarterly review and confirms which changes will be implemented in the next cycle.

  • Quarterly performance review against baseline SLA targets
  • Resource training updates aligned to partner toolset changes
  • Runbook review and update every 90 days
  • Partner satisfaction survey — 5 questions, 10 minutes
  • Formal improvement plan published for identified gaps
