Improve Service Desk Ticket Intake
Stop settling for “good enough.”
Onsite Workshop
The enterprise IT industry is giving users what they want. It will not be long before service desks are held to the same standard:
- Voice isn’t going away any time soon, but users are becoming accustomed to messaging and self-service.
- Mobile devices, teleworking, and SaaS are creating increasingly complex tickets.
- Complicated phone menus, unintuitive web portals, and non-empowered agents will always torpedo end-user satisfaction.
Enable your service desk to provide quality and consistent customer service:
- Identify two or three channels.
- Optimize these channels.
- Streamline ticket intake.
- Make gradual changes with a continual service improvement practice.
