DISCUSS A MANAGED SERVICES CONTRACT

Most digital transformation projects end at go-live. The value begins after.

A digital twin that is not actively maintained degrades. AI models that are not monitored drift. Integrations that are not managed break silently. NOVTRIQ's managed services contracts address the operational reality that follows project delivery — ensuring that the intelligence layer you invested in continues to deliver measurable returns across the asset lifecycle.

Structured service levels — from foundational monitoring to continuous transformation.

Common questions about managed services.

What happens if we decide managed services isn't right for us?

Every NOVTRIQ engagement includes a structured transition plan. If you choose to move operations in-house, we provide knowledge transfer, documentation and a defined handover period to ensure continuity.

Can we start with MONITOR and upgrade later?

Yes. The three-tier structure is designed to match your organisation's operational maturity. Many clients start with MONITOR to establish baselines and operational confidence, then move to OPERATE or TRANSFORM. Tier changes are reviewed annually.

How is pricing calculated?

Managed services pricing is proportionate to your asset complexity — the number of integrated data sources, the scale of the digital twin, and the scope of your operational estate. Monthly costs typically represent 15-25% of the value created through energy optimisation and maintenance deferral in the first year alone.

What support is available outside business hours?

All tiers include 24/7 AI anomaly detection and alerting. MONITOR provides 4-hour response; OPERATE provides 2-hour; TRANSFORM includes a named on-call engineer for 1-hour critical response. Standard support hours are 8am–6pm UK time, Monday to Friday.

Are there any long-term commitments?

Contracts are typically structured on a 12-month rolling basis with an annual review. This gives both parties the opportunity to assess performance, discuss strategic priorities and make adjustments.

What if our building systems change or we integrate new data sources?

System changes and integration of new data sources are standard activities. MONITOR and OPERATE tiers include integration maintenance. TRANSFORM tier includes proactive integration planning and API development. Significant scope expansion is discussed during quarterly business reviews.

The value of intelligent infrastructure is in its operation.
