Service · IT outsourcing

Service desk

Where a helpdesk answers “who will fix this for me?”, a service desk answers “is our IT support any good, and what is the proof?”. Requests are numbered, prioritised and given due dates, changes require approval, and at the close of each month the data shows what share was resolved in time and which issues return again and again. Lacking this, management discussions on IT quality turn into anecdotes: “it took forever” versus “we answered immediately”.

Included in this service

Visibility is the goal: you can follow any case and talk about support using data. This holds true whether we are your sole IT provider or work alongside in-house staff.

Talk the scope through with an engineer

Recording

Summary, requester, device and every message exchanged kept together, including cases that started as a quick chat on Teams.

Priorities

Order is determined by weighing impact against urgency. Seniority of the person asking plays no part; what matters is how many people and processes are blocked.

SLA timing

Time to respond and time to resolve are counted in business hours for each priority level, and warnings fire before a target is breached.

Requests and changes

A new login, access to HR files, installing software: approval-based forms replace emails beginning “could you quickly give me…”.

Knowledge base

Documented known issues and workarounds, so nothing is solved twice from scratch, plus self-help articles for staff.

Escalation and reporting

Defined triggers for bringing in second line, a software supplier or leadership. Each month: volume, category split, percentage met and recurring problems.

How we work together

How long roll-out takes depends on the company, with most of the time spent settling categories and priority rules rather than on software set-up.

01

Rules

Categories, priority levels, target times and approval routes are agreed with you before any configuration.

02

Tooling

Portal and request forms go live, with mail and Teams hooked up so people can report problems from wherever they already work.

03

Launch

A short online briefing for employees, followed by close monitoring during the opening weeks while rules get adjusted.

04

Monthly review

Breached targets, recurring cases and automation opportunities are examined, such as granting rights automatically after a form is approved.

The most telling figure is not average response speed but the list of recurring issues. When somebody reports weekly that scans never arrive, ten rapid responses still add up to ten interruptions. Every report therefore highlights the three commonest causes of requests, with a proposal for eliminating each permanently.

Questions and answers

No. Requests go into our portal by default. Should your organisation already use Jira Service Management or a similar tool able to track due dates, we can work there instead. Good categories and achievable targets determine quality far more than any product name.

Solely within contracted hours, weekdays 8:00-18:00 CET, and per priority level. A minor request logged on Friday at 17:40 does not accumulate time across Saturday and Sunday. Premium clients and those with 24/7 IT support have critical cases timed without breaks. Waiting for input from the requester or a vendor stops the timer, and that pause is visible in reports.

Banning it does not work. One click converts a Teams message into a case, and the employee gets a reply containing its reference. Over time many people go to the portal first, since they can check status there without chasing.

Certainly. Categories may be routed to your team or to ours, producing a single dashboard and unified figures regardless of who resolved a case. That proves useful during an NIS2 or KRI audit, when evidence of incident handling is required.

Put numbers on your IT support

Explain how requests are logged at the moment and who deals with them. We will recommend a process and tooling that turn support quality into measurable data.
