desk softwareEvaluate tools to assist the management and resolution of calls<\/p>\n<h2>Service desk software<\/h2>\n<p>There are a number of providers of comprehensive software packages for managing your Service Desk. They provide a number of additional features, tools, and methods for managing aspects of your process. It is important that you review how you want to process work. Implementing a relatively cheap and quick package, in step 2, should have given you a better idea of what works well for your environment and what facilities you will be looking for in a full implementation.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the additional features you may want to consider are: &#8211; Customisable screens, support of user logging of faults, work queues, customisable work flows.<\/p>\n<h2>Tools<\/h2>\n<p>In addition to your Service Desk software, there are a number of tools that can assist the resolution of faults. The following are some of the tools available and there purposes.<\/p>\n<p>Knowledge bases. A searchable database of technical informationRemote access tools. Software allowing service desk staff to assume control remotely of a users&#8217; computer (with their permission)Monitoring tools. Tools for monitoring the state of the ICT environmentFAQs, cheat sheets, and scripts. While not so much tools more, self developed, documents and aids<\/p>\n<h2>Implementation &#8211; What should I do?<\/h2>\n<p>The evaluation and implementation of a customisable service desk and its supporting tools will be a sizable undertaking. Details of how to prepare for and plan such an implementation are covered in detail in the Becta Framework for ICT Technical Support, Service Desk document.<\/p>\n<p>The more sophisticated the software, the more facilities it may offer you, but the important factor at this stage is that call details are being kept.<\/p>\n<p>Now that you have worked through these &#8216;Getting Started&#8217; procedures for Service Desk, you may find it useful to review our detailed <a href=\"https:\/\/fitsed.org\/members\/service-desk\/\">Service Desk process<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>OK, that&#8217;s hopefully given you a good idea about what&#8217;s involved in implementing your Service Desk.
