The world of IT support: • Challenging • Frequently frustrating • And sometimes, seemingly impossible. • The Service Centre’s mission • to deliver high-quality • cost-efficient, and • timely problem resolution New Platforms + Systems = New Skill Sets + Increased Call Volumes Inefficient support centres fail to meet Service Level Agreements (SLAs), frustrate end users, and demoralise help desk staff and management.
Service Centre Support & Efficiency Level One Call Resolution Rate (FOFC) • Fast first-call problem resolution • Happier users, • Lower-cost support, and • Achieving SLAs Give service centre staff the tools and knowledge to resolve problems at the first point of contact. A Help Desk solution is perhaps the most cost-effective means of improving first-call resolution rates with a minimum investment.
Two Options for End User Support • Staffed Support Centre • Technical professionals who are available by phone or by email • Real-time collaboration tools • One-to-one relationship between a support analyst and each problem presented • Call centre model • Inbound requests (tickets) are received from users • Level-1 agents attempt to resolve the issues or pass to Level-2 or Level-3. • The Service Centre usually: • Captures the end-user and problem information into a ticketing system • System then tracks all resolution efforts and centrally manages the information. Resolving technical problems by telephone is time-consuming and expensive.
Self-Service Portal • Tools allow users to troubleshoot, diagnose, and fix own technology problems. • Logging of own service request tickets • Checking status of existing tickets • Search Knowledge Base / FAQ • 24 x 7 availability • Self-support systems typically work by using one of several models to find answers: • •Questions and answers to navigate to a solution • • A decision tree to find information about particular topics • • A searchable Knowledge Base Shifts customer interfaces to lower cost mediums and empowers the Customer.
The same Knowledge Base articles available to Call Centre staff also available to end users through the intranet or internet.
