Why Value Creed’s Run Smart Managed Services for CTRM is Your Power Play

The Obstacle:

The CTRM Conundrum: The Good, the Bad, and the Potentially Unprofitable

CTRM is powerful, function-rich, and offers a robust solution to the needs of ETRM/CTRM
business operations – yet there are common challenges every team faces.

  1. The application’s deep-dive capabilities make it a complex tool to use effectively,
    requiring knowledgeable, dedicated expertise.
  2. This expertise is concentrated in the hands of a few experts worldwide.
  3. Managed services from a large consulting firm may prove far too costly, and those
    services are often facilitated by a junior team, rather than the senior consultants you
    may require.
  4. Experienced in-house CTRM teams may manage day-to-day operations well, but
    may not be equipped to keep pace with the demands of your changing business needs.

Given that, what can be done to simultaneously ensure your business has the technical
expertise it needs, that it’s not seeking a solution that’s out of scope, and that it retains the cutting edge to set your business up for both short and long-term growth?

The answer is a surprisingly simple one, which stems not from a business-as-usual approach,
but one that leverages all of your business’ CTRM platforms’ strengths in your favor. A new approach to managed services we call Run Smart® for CTRM.

The Solve:

Why Value Creed Gives You The Power of a New Approach

The Value Creed Run Smart® approach brings to bear senior, experienced, and innovative
CTRM problem-solvers. We offer made-to-order teams for each individual project and hire
only the brightest, most superior experts to provide on-demand support to our customers. But
we don’t stop there. We continuously train our experts to update their skills.

With this always on, always learning, always innovating approach, you get flexible and powerful
CTRM expertise on demand. Run Smart® is based on the philosophy of pairing on-shore and off-shore resources for 24/7/365 monitoring. For specialized project deployments like
upgrading your CTRM, we design “tiger teams” made up of top CTRM experts,
embracing a wide diversity of skills and disciplines. These elite consultants and engineers
tackle your most difficult problems with a combination of superior technical skills and functional,
problem-solving talent, all with a contract that’s both easy to manage and afford. They’re there
when you need them, and gone when you don’t. No bloated project teams, no stale statements
of work, just talent on your terms.

That’s because power is in the way we play. We know the last thing you want to pay for is a
“learning curve.” With Value Creed, you don’t pay for “ramp up” time. Instead, you get an
expert, or a team of experts, who are able to get in and accelerate your path to business value.
