Many corporate IT service desks continue to be under pressure to deliver better IT support – with end users and customers demanding increased efficiency and a better service, and likely at a lower cost. Service desks can’t afford to stand still, and thus the improvement of their operations, and of IT support overall, should be a crucial part of any corporate IT organization’s strategy and roadmap. It’s a tough ask though – as, after enduring over a decade of budget cuts, finding ways to improve the service desk might appear difficult, especially when operating with limited funding and people.
Thankfully though, customer engagement and support advancements, including improved support technologies, can provide an easier route to both tangible service desk efficiencies and customer-facing improvements. So please attend this webinar for practical help with five opportunities to improve your service desk operations, and the value it ultimately provides to their business, across:

1. Meeting consumer-world-driven expectations of access and communication channels (and the people involved within them)
2. Offering knowledge management capabilities that actually work (for end users and service desk agents)
3. Increasing employee self-service adoption and value
4. Automating wherever possible (including the use of machine learning)
5. Getting more out of your ITSM solution (or investing in one that delivers more)

Let’s face it: the goals and vision of IT departments don’t always match up with their corresponding business strategies. This can result in siloed efforts by both parts of the organization, ultimately leading to lost opportunities, missed goals, and unrealized potential. This outcome will likely repeat itself time and time again unless the entire organization can come together to form a unified vision.
