Getting started with Zoocha

1. Discovery and service transition
We start by understanding your platform, your team and what good support looks like for your organisation. Whether we have built your site or are taking over from another supplier, we agree the scope, responsibilities, priorities and transition plan from the outset.

2. Drupal audit and technical assessment
Our team conducts a comprehensive review of your Drupal platform, including the codebase, configuration, integrations, hosting environment, security posture, and operational risks. We identify any urgent remedial work and provide prioritised recommendations to improve performance, resilience, accessibility and usability.

3. Meet your support team
You’ll be introduced to the people responsible for your service, including your Client Services Manager, Service Desk Manager and technical support team. We establish clear points of contact, escalation routes and ways of working from day one, with the option to visit our UK office and meet the wider team.

4. Configure your support service
We set up your Jira Service Desk, agree priorities and service levels, establish authorised contacts, and configure the workflows needed to manage incidents, requests, changes and planned maintenance effectively.

5. Onboarding, training and knowledge sharing
We show your team how to raise and track requests, access project documentation in Confluence, and use the Zoocha Service App. This creates a transparent shared view of support activity, service performance and next actions.

6. Hosting migration, where required
If you choose Zoocha-managed hosting, we plan and deliver a controlled migration to our AWS-based Zoocha Hosting Platform, within your own AWS account. We assess dependencies, integrations, data, DNS, certificates, security and recovery requirements, then agree a migration plan designed to manage risk and minimise disruption.

7. Ongoing support and continuous improvement
Once onboarding is complete, your service moves into steady-state support. We monitor, maintain, and improve your platform with regular service reviews, reporting, and recommendations to keep it secure, reliable, and ready to evolve.
