Support Plan & Setup
We assist with organizing the support plan, allocating responsibilities, preparing practical procedures, and clarifying which support tasks will be outsourced.
Ongoing Support
We support regular interviews, consultation handling, communication with the company, and practical follow-up for periodic or ad hoc reporting.
