Overview
It's early Monday morning and already the IT help requests are coming in. You've got to get the new problems organized, check on the status of last week's requests, and train your newest employee all before your managers' meeting at noon. You start to panic as you keep adding to-dos to your already overwhelming list.
As technology continues to drive changes in the workplace, it becomes increasingly difficult to find the time for monitoring the help desk ticketing system and ensuring a smooth IT management process is in place. As soon as you troubleshoot one report, another discrepancy always seems to appear. Employees and superiors are looking to you for help with their priorities NOW. As your inbox piles up, so does the number of departments waiting for your team to fix their problems. Requests aren't entered correctly, and the result is angry supervisors and lost income. If these stressful situations sound familiar, you're in desperate need of simple tips and successful techniques that increase accuracy and efficiency in managing your IT help desk — all while saving valuable time, resources, and energy!
