Operations Overview

At J2 we take our operations very seriously. We have several controls in place for managing your environment such as a dedicated J2 Help Desk, NOC, and SOC. We are process-controlled starting with how we capture your environment, with documentation of your assets, network, and entire infrastructure. Our ticketing and routing process is streamlined to benefit your operations model. Sometimes the process is complex with many layers such as various vendors and manufacturers that need to be involved in the support process. J2IT experienced IT project managers in Farmington Hills are always involved, to simplify the communication, status, and management of the entire support response, giving you peace of mind that everyone is on the same page for resolving and ensuring project/support success.

J2 PROJECT MANAGEMENT
“44% of projects fail due to a lack of project management including alignment between business and project objectives.”
The definition of our local Farmington Hills IT project management services is “the process of planning, organizing and delineating responsibility for the completion of an organization’s specific information technology (IT) goals.”
It is a critical component of any successful project and at the center of our J2 Operations team. J2’s IT project management practice in Farmington Hills revolves around planning, communications, resources (including internal and vendor), timing, delivery, and budget. Below are the building blocks for any successful project that is project managed.
Managing the Project
These five process groups comprise the project management life cycle and are universal to all projects. The specific phases within a project, however, are unique to each project and represent the project life cycle.
Initiation
The project goal, need or problem is identified. One of our Farmington Hills IT project managers is assigned to the project and the project charter is created.
Planning
the project manager and the project team work together to plan all of the needed steps to reach a successful project conclusion. The project planning processes are iterative in nature and it’s expected that planning will happen often throughout the project.
Execution
Once the project plan has been created, our IT project management team in Farmington Hills will go about executing the project plan to create the deliverables of the project. The project can shift to project planning as needed throughout project execution.
Monitoring And Controlling
As the project is being executed by the project team, the project manager monitors and controls the work for time, cost, scope, quality, risk, and other factors of the project. Monitoring and controlling is also an ongoing process to ensure that the project addresses its targets for each project objective.
Closing
At the end of each phase and at the end of the entire project, project closure happens to ensure that all of the work has been completed, is approved, and ultimately transferred ownership from our Farmington Hills IT project management team to operations.
J2 Help Desk
Business and revenue growth goals always exist but having the talent and resources to keep up with the new workload is time-consuming and expensive.

Behind the scenes, a lot goes on to keep your operations running—from network monitoring and system upgrades to patch management and more. That is where the J2 NOC takes over. Our Network Operations Center in Farmington Hills allows you to scale your business with the help of a team of specialized technicians who pick up the slack as you grow your business.

Our Farmington Hills techs handle even the most complex IT issues, so you and your team can focus on long-term strategy and value-added projects.
Patch testing and deployment
Patching is time-consuming, mundane, and one of your techs’ least favorite jobs. It is also an essential part of keeping your clients’ devices up-to-date and secure. Pass off patching to the J2 Network Operations Center. Our local Farmington Hills techs test, restrict, and deploy every patch to ensure the good ones are installed, and the bad ones get left behind.
