HELP-IT IT Support Helpdesk is a very specific service by INSI that provides remote support for Teir 1 and Teir 2 end-user issues. Interrstingly, every small business requires an IT support helpdesk services for minor end-user issues. In fact, 80% of the tickets are at the helpdesk level, which means they are simple, repetitive issues that interns or entry-level technicians handle. Usually, these tickets take less than 10-minutes to resolve.
It may surprise you that enterprise companies often outsource these services to IT helpdesk companies to stretch their IT budgets. Unfortunately, there are few options to help small internal IT departments offset IT support helpdesk costs. That’s where INSI comes in.
Why Do Small Internal IT Departments Need IT Support Helpdesk?
Most small- and medium-sized businesses (SMB) need adequate funding to staff a complete IT department. Why would they? After all, it is not their core business. That’s why SMBs either have an IT director or network administrator to cover all their IT support needs.
Yet, as the company grows, its IT dependency and network sophistication do too. As a result, the IT department needs more tools, resources, and engineers to meet IT demands. They also need to define better IT processes to handle the growth.
Unfortunately, process-building is exceptionally time-consuming, expensive and requires a lot of IT management experience to do it right, or the end-users will receive lousy service. Alternatively, outsourced IT support helpdesk companies invest heavily in shared resources and provide a much more affordable end-user IT solution.
INSI’s IT Support Helpdesk Services
INSI’s signature Customized IT™ support was designed for small internal IT departments. Most Managed Service Provider (MSP) overlap with the internal IT departments; INSI’s Customized IT™ program allows the clients to pick and choose the exact services and levels of IT support they want for their business.
The IT Support Helpdesk program, Help-IT, is for small IT departments with an IT director who only need remote helpdesk support for tiers one and two. Subsequently, this service frees the IT director’s time to focus on higher-level issues and strategic IT initiatives. (See Help-IT case study here.)
