Reducing Risk, Improving Time-to-Value
Proofpoint Professional Services help you minimize implementation risks and achieve a faster return on your technology investment. Our Professional Services team works with you through four phases:
- Design. Proofpoint consultants gather requirements and define implementation goals. A well-defined statement of work, project plan and implementation timeline are delivered to the client.
- Implementation. Hardware, software, and peripheral components are installed and configured based on the statement of work. Component-level and end-to-end functional testing are also performed. At this point, the client's production mail stream goes live on Proofpoint's system.
- Training. Proofpoint consultants ensure that email administrators and client held desk staff have a concrete understanding of the Proofpoint system, including configuration. Clients are provided with documentation and collateral that they can use to educate both technical staff and end-users about the Proofpoint product.
- Transition. Support for the client is transitioned from the Proofpoint Professional Services team to Proofpoint's dedicated technical support staff. Additionally, a complete support review is conducted, ensuring that clients understand all the details of their software license agreements, service expiration dates, support contacts, support procedures and best practices.
