Managed Service Desk

A service desk built to strengthen your internal IT team.

Managed Service Desk provides a primary point of engagement between users and your IT organization. Bytes helps manage incidents, service requests, user communication, SLAs, tracking, metrics, and customer satisfaction while working alongside your existing IT team.

This service can supplement in-house or co-managed IT support by adding structure, coverage, accountability, and a consistent end-user experience.

A phased onboarding approach.

Build the Foundation

Staff survey to understand current service delivery, performance, and key areas for improvement. Configure ticket boards, SLAs, ticket categories, escalation chains, and contact documentation.

02

Prepare the Service Desk

Establish expectations for staff management and accountability. Train staff on ticket creation, time entry, ticket notes, escalation procedures, surveys, timely updates, and detailed documentation.

03

Prepare Your Users

Communicate how end users should contact the service desk and what they should expect. Explain SLAs and expected resolution times. Show users how to create useful tickets, include the right information, and escalate when necessary. Set expectations around ticket satisfaction surveys.
