An outsourced service desk takes a holistic approach to end-user’s needs by addressing virtually everything that happens within an IT environment. Service desks handle adds, moves, and changes – ensuring that your business runs smoothly. Think of a service desk as a liaison between the technology itself and the users of the technology. Implementing an outsourced service desk will help your organization take the next level in addressing needs to more closely align technology services with business objectives.

Book a consultation How Does an Outsourced Managed IT Service Desk Help my Business? As your company grows, you may encounter growing pains, including the ability to scale your IT services team. Hiring additional people is often expensive and not always justifiable. Many companies have found partnering with a managed service desk provider to be more manageable and cost-effective than a do-it-yourself approach. The primary role of an IT service desk is to serve as the primary point of contact for monitoring incidents, addressing user requests, and providing a channel between other service management functions and the user community. In addition to these core functions, the service desk often plays an active role in capturing change requests, managing software licenses, and assisting with problem management. A trusted managed service desk provider can help you avoid the expense of ramping up headcount, save time by removing the need for recruiting or training, and can even help you scale more quickly by adding skills and expertise you don’t currently have.

ITIL’s definition of a service desk is as follows: “The single point of contact between the service provider and the users. A typical service desk manages incidents and service requests and also handles communication with the users.” Technical definitions aside, customer service should be the most important aspect of your business if you care about sustained growth. With humans at the helm of customer service, the right service desk takes your business to the next level: it can mean the difference between meeting and exceeding customer expectations. Leveraging the collective experience of the CRI team has proven to be of great benefit to our clients.
