Who Is a Managed XR Support Service Best For
- Large Enterprises / Corporations
- Companies deploying XR at scale (hundreds or thousands of headsets) — they benefit from support for device provisioning, content updates, and troubleshooting.
- Business units with ongoing VR training, collaboration, or simulation use-cases and need consistent uptime.
- Learning & Development (L&D) / Training Teams
- L&D departments using immersive tech for onboarding, compliance, or soft-skills training.
- Training programmes where devices are used repeatedly by many users and need regular management and content refresh.
- Education Institutions
- Schools, colleges, or universities running VR labs or XR-based courses.
- Distance / blended learning programmes that require XR content to be maintained, updated, and supported without relying on internal IT alone.
- Safety-Critical or High-Risk Industries
- Manufacturing, construction, oil & gas, utilities, or energy companies using VR / AR for safety training, hazard simulations, or emergency drills. These need stable, reliable XR deployments.
- Field operations teams using AR for maintenance, inspections, or standard operating procedures — they need managed support to ensure devices and content remain accurate and available.
- Global / Distributed Teams
- Organisations with geographically dispersed workforce who use XR for collaboration, training, or remote support.
- Companies with remote offices, field technicians, or satellite sites that rely on AR / VR devices but don’t have local XR experts.
- Event Organisers & Immersive Experience Providers
- Teams that host VR activations, trade shows, or conference booths — managed support ensures devices are configured, updated, and ready.
- Production studios or agencies delivering XR experiences to clients and needing operational support post-deployment.
- Startups Scaling XR Solutions
- XR product companies or solution providers that don’t yet have in-house operations teams — using managed services helps them scale without building full IT / XR ops capacity immediately.
- Healthcare / Medical Training Providers
- Hospitals, medical schools, or training organisations using VR simulations or AR for clinical education. Managed support helps with software updates, compliance, and device readiness.
- Organisations doing immersive patient therapy or rehabilitation, where devices need robust maintenance, hygiene protocols, and tech support.
- R&D / Innovation Teams
- Teams experimenting with XR for prototyping, design reviews, or collaboration. Managed support frees them to focus on innovation rather than device logistics.
- A mobile device management tool (MDM) will be required.
- If the devices are Meta headsets and Meta HMS has been purchased, access to the Meta HMS (Horizon Managed Services) will be required.
- If this is the first purchase of Meta HMS talk to us about our Smart Start Set Up Service.
