Computers are everywhere. Whether it’s at your home, office, bank, hospital etc., computers have played an integral part in the smooth functioning of various activities for multiple decades now.
In an enterprise, computers are an essential for completing any task in an organized and timely manner. But just like any other machine, a computer too is prone to create errors (both software and hardware), caused by a variety of reasons ranging from virus attacks, improper functioning of VPN to IT issues etc.
To solve these problems, enterprises usually deploy an IT troubleshooting cell. But in most organisations, both employees and helpdesk staff find themselves quite frustrated with this solution. As the staff can’t handle all problems at once and usually aren’t available 24/7, employees get irritated due to the lack of timely help.
At the same time, IT helpdesk staff also finds it cumbersome when they are approached with the same type of problems every time, and which may or may not have a solution. As the size of an organization increases, the number of complaints and subsequently, waiting times also increase.
As a result the organization’s productivity decreases and you end up spending more money to hire new people. Going this route not only eats away at overall capital but your employees continue to lose valuable time.
Though a few organizations have created FAQ pages and user guides, such practices have typically failed because of the user’s reluctance to read them before approaching helpdesk for a ‘quick fix’.
This raises an interesting proposition though. What if you were able to provide your employees with instant answers and solutions to challenges they could be facing? The outcomes of establishing such a system could have surprising benefits. Think about all the time your employees will save without having to wait for an overburdened support staff member. And think about all the other important activities and tasks your support staff can focus on instead – IT issues that actually require human intelligence to be resolved!
