This is an exciting time for the Information
Technology industry. Corporate America has felt the need to move
into the information age as never before, and an ever increasing
focus has come upon IT departments to perform on a higher level
and present the latest solutions to management in the most productive
and cost-effective ways.
As the need for Information Technology has grown, so too have
the roles the IT department plays. Not only does the average IT
department have to accomplish business-critical objectives, it
is also called upon to perform auxiliary services, network support,
and software training. We here at Domain Computer Services would
like to show you how to concentrate back on your business, and
leave many of your auxiliary support services to others.
Outsourcing makes sense, particularly for your Computer Help Desk.
By outsourcing, a company is afforded the expertise and know-how
of a great many more resources than by trying to develop the personnel
themselves. For example, the average corporation uses 3-5 applications
on a wide scale. Smaller companies with less than 150 workstations
may try to have one or two people support these apps along with
your regular help desk installs, moves, and printer issues. What
this means is that your network is probably only getting basic
help desk support in the sense that things are operational, but
users are not getting functional support in how to use the apps
and make them work more effectively. To do this the company would
have to have 3-5 full time staff, each of which had the background
and expertise in a particular app to support it for the most advanced
users. This of course is not financially feasible for most small
companies, but with outsourcing it is well within their reach.
Even for larger companies, the breadth of resources available
by Help Desk Outsourcing greatly outweighs the benefits of a traditional
in-house help desk. It not only provides for a more diverse knowledge
base because of benefiting from an economy of scale, but it also
produces a service environment which is more responsive to your
company’s needs. The reason for this being that by outsourcing
competition is in full effect. Survival of the fittest - an outsourcing
company must exceed a company’s expectations or the company
will find someone who can provide the service more effectively.
However with an in-house help desk, the staff has a monopoly on
all in-house services. If they consistently don’t do their
job well the only recourse is to fire them. However, as anybody
who has ever let go of someone knows, not only is it a painful
situation for the employee but for the company as well.
We think that after looking at the facts it becomes pretty clear
that outsourcing can prove to be a significant asset in achieving
your IT objectives. Let us discuss with you the possibilities
that Help Desk Outsourcing may provide for your company, along
