The Intec Methodology
Step 1: Preparation

Environment Licensing
Under IBM, software licensing became complex and out-dated. HCL have worked hard to simplify the licensing model and make it easier to understand, maintain and control. Intec have a dedicated HCL Software licensing manager who can guide you and answer any questions you may have.
Step 2: Migration
Your current user community will be migrated along with Application Security settings intact.
Intec’s iMigrate migration tool will assist with the analysis and migration of applications and users to the new environment. iMigrate also manages security configuration on the new server. The future environment will be documented and agreed with you in preparation for the new server deployment.
The new HCL Domino server and Domain will be installed and prepared ready for applications to be migrated from the current environment. This includes configuring HCL best practice house keeping activities to ensure the server efficiency is optimum. Intec will work with you to ensure appropriate Back up procedures are in place and that consideration is given to recovery procedures in the event of a disaster.
Step 3: Application Familiarisation
Understanding the functional and technical details of the applications and environment is key to providing a high level of support to our customers.
Intec would take the approach of working closely with key people within your organisation to gain high level knowledge of the applications by filling out an Application Support Document for each supported Application. This template gives a basis for collecting ‘standard’ support information for each application based on internal knowledge – found through meetings with both key stake holders from the business and also any available technical personnel supporting the Infrastructure on a day to day basis.
Any existing Standard Operating Procedures would be reviewed and suggestions for improvement would be made. It is also usual to review previously recorded Help Desk problems to check for repeating problems and determine whether improvements to the applications can prevent similar problems in the future.
Step 4: On-Going Support
We will work with you to agree designated personnel authorised to raise a support call. Once the support request has been determined as related to the HCL Domino applications or infrastructure and information passed to Intec, it will be logged in our Help Desk system and assigned a “priority” in agreement with the end user according to the nature of the request and required fix time.
Through Intec’s ISO9001 accredited procedure for Support Call Management we can demonstrate the normal process of logging calls in the Intec Help Desk system, daily monitoring of open calls and escalation process. We provide a monthly report with comprehensive information relating to support logged in the period.
We’ve built a good relationship with HCL Business Partner Intec—we trust them to act as an extension of our own in-house HCL Domino development team, and they’ve already made a valuable contribution by helping us build APIs to integrate some of our existing applications with external services.
