Ensono’s Enterprise Testing services are delivered flexibly, either remotely or onsite, with technical specialists embedded into the project team throughout assessment, delivery, and transition. Escalation to Ensono Directors and quarterly business reviews are provided at no additional cost, as is ongoing account management. Principal‑level oversight is a chargeable component and will be included within the Statement of Work at an agreed utilisation.

To support a smooth transition once migration or modernisation activities are complete, Ensono also offers an optional Hypercare phase. Hypercare provides time‑bound, enhanced post‑implementation support designed to stabilise the new environment, accelerate issue resolution, and maintain close collaboration with engineering teams. Its duration and service parameters are tailored to the needs of the initiative and will be defined in the SoW where required.

For organisations requiring ongoing managed services, Ensono also offers Site Reliability Engineering as a Service (SREaaS) at additional cost, providing 24/7 support, proactive management, and risk mitigation for cloud data environments.
