Your IT Service Desk (or Help Desk as it is called in some organizations) can be the difference between satisfied, productive employees and frustrated, unproductive employees. Service Desks that operate at peak capacity can keep projects moving forward; broken Service Desks lead to bottlenecks and hinder operations and decrease customer service.

Service Desk Problems

Service Desks that operate at peak capacity respond effectively, and in a timely manner, when requests are received. They have measurable service standards and set priorities based on business rules established by the organization. For instance, problems that inhibit sales or customer service might take priority over a printer problem.

Service Desks that do not function as they should often cannot track help tickets, are not able to deliver timely, effective service, and cannot properly report on the status of issues. Often, frustrated employees circumvent the Service Desk to get help. This might enable employees to continue with their jobs, but the solutions are often temporary in nature and could exacerbate issues. Also, the organization loses sight of the state of IT and cannot resolve recurring issues if it does not know when, where, why, and how often these issues arise. In short, if the Service Desk is not functioning as it should be, the CIO will not be able to effectively allocate resources and resolve issues. This can lead to frustration, loss of productivity, and perhaps even the loss of sales or poor customer service.
