Operations Center

Our 7x24 approach integrates US-based Service Desk, Application Support, Testing Services, IT System Monitoring and back-line subject matter expertise - to increase client uptime and lower their support costs.

“Our focus is on customer experience and our existing IT support Service desk was managed by an outsourcer off-shore. We had constant communication issues and they never seemed to have the right expertise for trouble tickets. That all changed when we transitioned our support to CoffeeTree Group. We noticed a change for the better - instantly ”.
