Do you find your business tech support is "all over the place"? Few things lead to unhappy customers faster than tedious and disorganized customer service. If this is the case with your organization, a centralized help desk might be just what you need. While businesses have many options when structuring their IT strategy, setting up a centralized service desk can help ensure that all customers receive consistent, quality technical support when they need it.
A centralized service desk is a single point of contact for all IT requests, issues, and incidents. The centralized service desk can be used by end-users to submit requests for support or help that they may need. The centralized service desk then routes the request to the appropriate department or team based on the type of request. This saves time because it does not require users to go through multiple departments before getting support.
It also helps reduce the number of IT requests from end-users because there is only one place where you need to go when you have an issue or question about your equipment or services. By having one centralized help desk channel, this helps to eliminate redundancies and to increase support team efficiency by reducing the time spent organizing support tickets.
A centralized service desk can help you improve overall IT visibility, manage requests and incidents more efficiently and track and analyze KPIs.
By centralizing all requests into one location, you can ensure that your ITSM team has access to all tickets in a single view at any given time. This means that no matter where they are working, your team members always have access to all the information needed for new requests or to solve old ones quickly. This also means that if someone else needs help with an issue outside of their normal job responsibilities—like providing tech support for a user who doesn't know how to use their new smartphone—they'll know who else on the team might be able to assist them before getting stuck in their own work backlogs again (or worse yet: having another user wait hours while they troubleshoot something unrelated).
A centralized service desk is a powerful tool for managing IT requests. For more information about how to create a centralized service desk that will improve your organization's support operations, or to see what other solutions EasyVista offers, contact our team!
