Andromeda Secret Sauce

Performance/Result Driven Mindset

Performance Results—Knowing What Really Matters

Great IT service looks quite a bit different than it did a decade or more ago. These days, your business interaction with your IT provider should ideally be unintrusive and forward-looking—filled only with proactive projects like planning, upgrades, and team/infrastructure expansions plus periodic monitoring status updates.

But, of course, we live in an imperfect world. Staff members misplace files, forget passwords, or hit the "wrong button" enabling a phishing attack. Occasionally, a cable accidentally gets yanked; a software app breaks or suddenly changes for the worse in the name of "updating". The result is that the dreaded Service Ticket will never completely go away.

Certainly, one element of minimizing the frustration and downtime of Service Tickets is your IT provider's ability to deliver fast, effective response. (More on that below.) But the real prime factor for minimal Service Ticket frustration/downtime lies in the creation of a robust network environment and staff training programs that result in fewer ticket issues in the first place. In fact, that's the aim of all our initial planning and setup for new clients. However, "aim" and "wishful thinking" are one thing; performance results are another.

Our secret sauce ingredient for IT service performance in this area is our results-driven philosophy. That begins with appropriate metrics. One of Andromeda's key metrics for measuring network performance for our business clients is how effectively Service Ticket generation is reduced over time.

After all—whether they consciously realize it or not—that's how business clients will generally assess how well their IT provider is "working out".

Isn't this what you'd like to see from a new IT service provider?

 

Service Ticket Reduction Effectiveness

Results-driven Service Ticket reduction “3 months after onboarding, we started to notice a steady decline in our technical issues”
—Bill, CIO of multi-site manufacturing company in Chicagoland area

This chart shows actual data from a real client that came onboard with Andromeda. It illustrates a common and powerful trend we see with new partnerships: after an initial normalization period (typically 3 months), we begin driving down recurring issues and support tickets significantly.

From Month 4 onward, our process improvements, proactive monitoring, documentation, and strategic alignment begin to take hold. Over the following months, the client experienced a steady
and consistent decline in service desk tickets—representing fewer disruptions, increased stability, and more productive time for their team.

This isn’t an anomaly—it’s what the typical Andromeda client experiences within the first 3–9 months of working with us. We reduce noise, solve root causes, and help teams get back to doing
what they do best—without constant IT distractions.

 
Why postpone it? Let's see if Andromeda can improve daily life at your business as well:
 

Let's Not Forget The Basics

While fewer Service Ticket issues is the primary goal, you still deserve fast, effective response from your IT service team when they do occur. Our results-driven metrics for that speak for themselves:
