Touch Support

Hosting support outsourcing

Your best engineer should not be your night shift.

Your customers do not keep business hours. When the rotation runs short, tickets sit until morning and the projects your engineers were on stop moving. A dedicated remote team can carry those hours, inside the tools and process you already run.

The problem

What the gap looks like from the inside

01

Nights and weekends land on the same few people

A small team takes turns. Every departure makes the rotation shorter for whoever is left.

02

Nobody wants those hours

The people who can do the work can usually choose not to do it at 3 a.m.

“We’ve always had a small, skilled internal sysadmin and support team, but finding people willing to work nights or weekends in Western Europe was becoming almost impossible.”

Greg Harvey, Managing Director, Code Enigma
03

Tickets sit overnight

Your team knows the answer. Nobody is awake to give it, so the customer reads silence until morning.

04

Engineers get pulled off projects

Urgent client issues win every time, and the infrastructure upgrade you planned slips again.

05

You can only hire near the building

With physical sites, only candidates nearby can apply, and competition for experienced engineers is intense.

“We quickly ran into issues finding qualified and experienced personnel in our markets. As costs grew, we had trouble finding people we could afford.”

Brad, VP of Operations, $300M hosting company

How it works

It runs inside your tools and your process

Your queue

Our teams work directly in your tools and ticketing systems, from Zendesk to Jira to your internal portals.

Your standards

They use your macros, playbooks and standards. At the hosting company, that started with learning its culture and how it talks to customers.

No system of ours to adopt

At Code Enigma, the team worked within existing workflows, with no one-size-fits-all model or proprietary monitoring system.

A layer on your team

We typically extend your team, as a remote layer of your existing ops structure.

We run the people side

On both engagements below, recruiting, training and day-to-day management sat with us.

“You weren’t trying to pull us into your system or dump random freelancers on us. You brought dedicated people, managed them properly, and made them part of our operation.”

The proof

Two published results

Both case studies are on this site in full. Numbers and quotes are as published.

Code Enigma

UK-based boutique agency, complex enterprise-grade Drupal. A dedicated remote sysadmin team, now a 24/7 support model.

30%

reduction in active ticket volume, within a few months

  • Customer tickets no longer sit overnight
  • Significantly faster response times
  • Internal projects revived, including infrastructure upgrades like Debian 12

“One of our consistent pieces of negative feedback was, ‘you have a really knowledgeable team, but you guys are so slow’… We don’t have that anymore. The tickets get picked up really fast.”

Greg Harvey, Managing Director, Code Enigma

$300M hosting company

Managed hosting and cloud infrastructure for over 25 years, with a family of brands. Moved from in-house physical sites to a remote and hybrid model.

CSAT + NPS

at or above historical benchmarks

  • Headcount scaled significantly, without increasing overhead
  • Staffing expenses decreased despite overall market inflation
  • Managers focus on growth and innovation instead of constant recruitment and training cycles
  • Work grew into monitoring and abuse teams, engineering and development, and sales and marketing operations

“Other providers told us they could find people for cheap. That’s not what we wanted. We wanted to expand our brand, continue to grow, and keep providing best-in-class support. Touch Support made that possible.”
