In addition, if a user comes along and tries to submit a “drive-by” service request, I politely remind them that we have this superb tool which they can use for entering such requests. Our users now use only SysAid to submit service requests to the IT department.” Sarit Hershkovitz, Help Desk Manager, IT Division, CBC - Coca-Cola Israel Sven Nosse, System Administrator Ebro Electronic, Germany “With my management’s support, I was able to show how easy SysAid is to use.
