Phone Support – Either at your site or at our call center
Depending on your company’s need, TIG can provide staffing on site or at our corporate headquarters. Larger customers benefit from having our staff on site. This allows for better interaction between your employees and our staff as well as supporting your specific network environment from inside your firewall.

Smaller customer need only pay for their usage. We have built TIG’s call center using the “Best in Class” processes developed for our corporate customers. All of our processes are focused on getting your employees productive. We also have a set of standardized metrics that we can report on that will allow you to be proactive on responding to your employees needs.

After Hours Phone Support – Let our call center take the load from your staff
Today’s business environment requires that critical systems and people are productive 24 hours a day. Typically businesses put someone on pager support for after hours support needs. Having someone on pager support long term will burn the employee out and may lead to staff turnover in a critical position. Also the idea of leaving a message for a 30 minute or 1 hour response is contrary to the business paradigm of always- available IT systems. If critical systems or employees are down, minutes count. Having a trained analyst available to answer the phone when your staff can’t will ensure that your company’s IT systems are there when you need them.

Tool Identification and Implementation services
Do you track your employee’s requests for service? Is it in an organized fashion or on sticky notes? Industry best practices dictate that you should capture all of your service requests in an organized fashion. Doing so has several benefits. First of all, if you are documenting all of your requests for service, nothing falls through the cracks and you can prioritize the request based on business impact. Secondly, capturing all of your support issues allows you to properly budget and plan for your support needs. Finally, capturing all of your support issues allows you to properly identify causes for support calls and proactively work to eliminate the root causes thereby saving your employees time and you money.

TIG has software solutions for every support center need from a one or two person support center up to enterprise class solutions. Contact us for software tool needs assessment and identifications.

On–Site Deskside Support Services
While every support centers goal should be to resolve as many issues as possible at first point of contact, there are times that you need to send someone to the desk possibly to replace broken hardware or reload software. TIG has a number of engagements that provide on-site support technicians. Remove the headache of recruiting, training and retaining qualified technical staff. Depending on your needs, TIG can provide only an on-site technician or combined with our call center services, you can have a centralized call center dispatching to TIG technicians at your site. We can also dispatch to remote offices using our nation-wide network of service providers.

Reengineering Support Centers
Are you running a support center now? Is it providing the level of service that you and your customer expect? Let TIG use our proven methodologies to examine and report on the current health of your support center. TIG will use its years of real world experience in managing support centers to measure your support center and provide a list of specific recommendations to implement. Our recommendations will decrease you and your support center staff’s frustration as well as increase your end customer’s satisfaction.

SLA Definition and Management
Do your customer know what to expect when they engage with your support center? Industry best practices require developing and communicating a Service Level Agreement (SLA) with your customers. In this way, you and your customer can share a common set of expectations regarding how their support issues are to be handled. Good communication and expectation setting are key to ensuring high customer satisfaction and less staff burn out.

Support Center Audit Preparation Services
Helpdesk Institute (HDI), the leading international authority on support centers has created a support center audit process. The audit is based on an open reference standards model and measures compliance to 8 core deliverables for support centers. Let TIG’s consultants help you with a pre-audit to terminate if your support center is ready to undergo an audit. TIG can also provide specific recommendations for areas of improvement to ensure that your audit goes smoothly.
