Boardroom Bullet-points
These discussion points may help position Vector HelpDesk to your boardroom colleagues.
  • The ability to manage the process of issue capture and resolution underpins everything that organizations can achieve in IT Service Management, such as improved service levels, cost reduction and problem reduction.
  • To be able to operate successfully in an environment governed by service level agreements, an IT issue tracking and end user help desk must have powerful and configurable escalation mechanisms.
  • Providing your valuable support staff with the highest quality tools you can afford visibly acknowledges the importance of their contribution and reduces turnover and training costs.
  • These statements are equally valid irrespective of the extent to which an organization is adopting ITIL practices.
  • Increasingly, organizations are looking to standardize on a single issue tracking technology. This engine must be capable of meeting many different needs through applying templates of workflow, team structure, escalation rules, and data fields relevant to the nature of the issues being processed. Vector HelpDesk is an example, with the Vector Issue Tracker engine configured with the IT User Support template.
