Support Desk Economics 101

May 26th, 2009

When it comes to Support Desk economics the supply of the IT budget is shrinking while the demand of end-users for high-quality support remains the same.

So, how does a support provider manage a shrinking budget without sacrificing quality?

  • Reduce the number of first calls and call escalations
  • Reuse data for training and knowledge base
