Target Audience:
CIO, COO, CEO, CFO
IT Executives and Sr. Management who are responsible for Service Management and service support across the enterprise.
One of the biggest challenges to every CIO and senior executive today is the determination of where and how much to invest in IT.

Most IT installations are intended to increase the efficiency, effectiveness and quality of an organization's processes, products and services. It is safe to say that the costs to maintain those installations are coming under more and more pressure every day. Maintenance and service reliability costs impact the total cost of ownership and the efficiency of an operation at the same time. Understanding the reliability of a product can help an enterprise choose the correct product and/or maintenance contract, improve efficiency and reduce costs.

Many organizations collect enough data to monitor the performance of the break fix vendor as to the Service Level Agreement (arrival of a technician on site) but often miss significant amounts of information relating to service events placed by the equipment through a call-home function, or to manage the service performance to establish if the first technician on site could fix the problem, or if the problem was repaired in a reasonable period of time.

Our offering provides an assessment and evaluation of the help desk/service desk and the effectiveness of the service management process. We look at the linkage between incoming calls and the information loop that follows as it relates to reliability and stability of all IT hardware products.

The analysis and data can be used immediately to pin-point operational problems, evaluate compliance with vendor and help desk SLAs, and reveal differences between deployed products.
