SERVICE DESK

Service desk Practice group

The Service Desk functions as a Single Point of Contact (SPOC) to provide users with the help they need to restore their service as quickly as possible with a minimum amount of disruption and downtime. The SPOC model is important as it is designed to save users time when they are in need to resolve their technology issues.

At iPrimitus, we offer Managed Services Desk based with ITIL ready framework. With ITIL framework in place, benefits like Proactive approach to eliminate repeat problems, Service levels to measure and improve service, and Follow-up to ensure customer satisfaction of incident resolution is achieved faster than most of the services desk implementations.

Responsibilities from Level 1,Level 2 and Level 3 that include are:

  • Incident detection and recording.
  • Incident classification and initial support.
  • Investigation and diagnosis.
  • Resolution and recovery.
  • Incident closure.
  • Incident ownership, monitoring, tracking and communication.

Help desk Implementation Services

  • A Help Desk is a resource designed for IT users to contact when they are having problems with their IT services.
  • Help Desks institute a multi-tiered trouble shooting approach by having personnel with extensive technical knowledge available.
  • Implementation of this multi-tiered support varies widely within companies.
  • In one company it may be one person with a wealth of knowledge carrying a cell phone..
  • In another company it may be several people who perform some of the support in house and several people from another company that are contracted for additional support.
  • In another company it may be a multitude of people within their own company performing all levels of support.

Standards implemented by a best practices Help Desk at iPrimitus:

We at iPrimitus follow the most strategic method of implementing a Help Desk that is by following the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) best practices. An ITIL best practices Help Desk includes:

  • Single point of contact (SPOC) for IT interruptions
  • Computer or Software consultations
  • Tracking capabilities of all incoming problems
  • Problem escalation procedures
  • Problem resolution
  • Change and Configuration Management
  • Service Level Agreements

Implementation of best practices for Help Desk services is outlined in the Service Management best practices section of ITIL version 3.Specifically these areas include:

  • Knowledge Management : Our Help Desk has a system that improves operational efficiencies by reducing the time spent to rediscover previous incidents or problems.
  • Problem Management : Our Help Desk has a system that gathers information during incident management to help spot problems. This system will identify the root cause of frequent recurring incidents by capturing information in a knowledge base.
  • Access Management : Our Help Desk acts as the keeper of the user accounts along with password resets. Single ownership by the Help Desk will ensure quicker response time for end users with user or password problems.
  • Service Catalog : Our Help Desk should have a published service catalog, ideally with pricing information included and with detailed service descriptions.

Operational improvements are made by reducing the number of tickets, reducing recurring incidents, and performing effective root cause analysis, problem management, and more.
