Communication is central
You would expect an MSP’s engineering team to possess the technical (‘Hard Skills’) required to deliver the services you require, however, for PB Tech that is only part of the equation with our staff. All staff are required to put equal emphasis on their ‘soft skills’ and these soft-skills are central to our recruitment process. Of all the soft-skills, communication is the one most emphasized. After all, Managed Services is a people business, people value communication and communication ensures expectations are both set and met. Peter Drucker once said “The most important thing in communication is hearing what isn't said”. This philosophy is central to us being able to empathise with our customers at any given point in time.

Knowledge Driven
Key to Constant Service Improvement (CSI), First Touch Resolution (FTR) and, to be frank, just delivering excellent services, is the continued cultivation of knowledge.

All service desk processes are clearly documented, available to our customers and are expected to be followed. Whether incident resolution, service request fulfilment, 3rd party management and ongoing knowledge creations, the PB Tech CDT is central to all we do.

ITIL – Smart
There is a lot of talk in the industry about various ITIL processes and how MSP’s live and breathe these processes. Further to this, we understand that when customers engage with an MSP they are effectively buying into the processes of the provider organization. It is our job to deliver ‘best practice’ in the delivery of services, and we want you to know how we do it. Whether it is core ITIL processes such as Incident, Change, Problem or Event Management, or more ‘how to’ processes regarding how we undertake various tasks, we share them with our customers.
