Is your business looking for outsourced help desk services? You can count on a cost-effective 24/7 help desk and remote support from Digital Minds BPO!
Convenient IT Help Desk Outsourcing Services
Nothing can frustrate a client more than unreliable IT support, especially when they need urgent help. When customers face problems or have questions about a service or product, their first step is to reach the customer service department. From there, they can be connected to the right expert to help them. Unfortunately, many companies can’t afford a fully equipped support desk.
If your budget can’t allow you to have an equipped support desk, you may not deliver a comprehensive service and respond quickly to clients’ needs. A poor help desk will compromise your quality of service, which will, in turn, have a negative impact on your customers.
What’s the way forward then? The only option is to consider IT help desk outsourcing. At Digital Minds BPO, we can offer you top-notch help desk outsourcing services that can ensure your customers are responded to 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
As a leading outsourced IT help desk service provider, we can also offer you a managed customer assistance desk and application help center solutions that will give you a competitive advantage against your peers.

Why Outsource Your Help Desk?
Even if you had a fully-equipped IT department, your IT team might not be able to combine customer service with other activities. They need to concentrate on network engineering, systems engineering, network administration, system security and administration, application management, database administration, and other IT related tasks crucial to your operation.
Obviously, they’ll get overwhelmed, and their productivity compromised. That’s where help desk outsourcing services come in. Here are some benefits of outsourcing your help desk services.
Lower Costs
It's a fact that money is at the center of all decision-making processes in a company. If you compare the cost of establishing a fully-fledged IT help desk with outsourcing this service, you'll realize that outsourcing is more cost-effective. You'll benefit from a certified and highly qualified technical staff that will serve as an extension of your team. Additionally, you'll be saved from the cost of training or recruiting new IT staff. Another way you'll save money is through improved productivity in your company.
Avoid Staffing Issues
In addition to ensuring business continuity, outsourcing your help desk can also help you avoid staffing issues. It's no secret that hiring and managing help desk employees can be difficult. Lack of training, compensation, and motivation can greatly affect their ability to do their job. By outsourcing help desk support, you can hire a third-party provider and give them the tools and resources to keep the help desk running smoothly. In the event that an employee leaves, the outsourcing providers are available for immediate hire and are much more efficient and organized than your current employees.
Concentrate on Core Activities
Through a help desk outsourcing service, your employees will be set free to concentrate only on the company's core activities and not worry about help desk support activities. Even your IT staff will also be able to focus on what they can do best rather than working as desk support staff. When everyone is left to concentrate on the company's core mission, your bottom line will get a boost.
Quick Response Times
As a professional IT help desk service provider, we dedicate ourselves to handling customer issues. This means your customers will enjoy swift responses and your IT department staff will also become more responsive and thorough in their work.
Improve End User Satisfaction
When a business has a help desk, it can give a sense of protection for both the employees and their clients. Employees and clients know that there are people working around the clock who are ready to assist them with any inquiries they might have. This, in turn, is what makes them feel more comfortable doing business with the company. It can improve the overall satisfaction and loyalty of your employees and clients. This is a great way to get more customers to recommend your business to their friends and family!
Increased Flexibility
Outsourced help desk services are a great way to increase flexibility in your work schedule. You can have peace of mind knowing that there is always someone available to answer any questions and take care of your IT needs when needed, even at odd hours. When you need support during those late night calls or weekend emergencies, you will be able to talk live with an outsourced representative who has been trained on your systems and procedures and can provide quick solutions for issues like software glitches and hardware malfunctions.

IT Help Desk KPIs We Implement to Measure Efficiency
Efficiency must be at the center of any business operation or it to succeed. We offer the best help desk outsourcing services because we have several years of experience in this industry. Some of the reasons that separate us from our competitors include:
First Response Time (FRT)
First response time is the period between when a customer submits a ticket and a customer support agent provides a reply. The concept of first response time is meant to measure and understand how long an initial response actually takes.
Customer Satisfaction Score (CSAT)
Customer Satisfaction Score or CSAT is a rating that measures how satisfied a customer is with the support received from a company's service or technical support. CSAT score is usually based on short surveys that users fill out after their interaction with a support agent.
Resolution Rate (RR)
The resolution rate is determined by dividing the number of issues resolved by the total number of issues received. It indicates whether an agent is capable of managing customer issues well.
Average Time to Resolution (ATR)
Average time to resolution (ATR) is the number of minutes, or hours if the ticket requires more time, customers have to wait for a service agent to resolve their ticket. This metric can be tracked based on the total number of tickets given to agents, the total number of minutes agents spent working on tickets, and the average time per ticket.
Average Talk Time for Calls
Call times are one of the most important metrics in call center management. Having a high call time usually means that your agents might be undertrained or overwhelmed. Having a low call time shows that your agents are efficient and help customers quickly. Best of all, call time tracking can help you keep track of agent performance.
Abandonment Rate for Calls
Abandonment rate of a call is the percentage of calls that did not receive an answer within the specified timing. This number can be affected by factors such as the wait time that a caller is put on hold as well as the ability to effectively communicate with the client service representative.
Our Help Desk Support Process
Our Help Desk Support Process is implemented to ensure we stay on top of all tickets. We have a seven-step process in place to ensure that we keep up with our high standards. We assign a ticket number to each support request and you can use that number at any point in the future to track its progress or view any notes or attachments. If the request is from a customer, we will proceed by identifying an agent qualified to handle the request. Then, we will inform the customer of the progress of the ticket. It’s important to note that all tickets are tracked for strict adherence to contract SLA’s.
A new issue is reported by the end-user via phone, live chat, email, or web form and the details of said issue have been included. If a customer calls in with a problem, the first step is to quickly outline the issue and the extent of the problem. In order to do this, all the needed details must be gathered. This includes the customer's information, time of the call, error message, and the steps they've taken to address the problem.
Once the details are collected, the next step is to categorize the issue and the issue reported is entered into the ticketing or help desk system and a unique ticket number is issued for tracking purposes.
As soon as the issue has been logged with the help desk or ticketing system, the end-user will receive their unique service ticket number via email to confirm that their service request has been logged.
The ticket system is the way the company monitors and prioritizes the issues that end-users are experiencing, based on their importance. We have internal IT guidelines that determine the order in which issues are addressed by assigning priority levels. We start with critical issues, which need to be resolved immediately, and progress through high, medium, and low priority levels, with each level having a service level agreement associated with it. The service level is the amount of time the customer can expect to wait before the issue is resolved, based on the priority of the ticket.
When you receive an issue from an end-user, it's important to make sure it gets to the right resource to handle in the most expedited way. We will route the issue to the best resource, based on a number of factors, including skillset, time zone, and how quickly the issue was awarded.
The customer will be contacted by a technician who is working on resolving the issue. The technician will explain the problem and what they are doing to solve it. This is a mandatory customer service step that every technician needs to follow. We also monitor the ticket for any escalations, to give them the most accurate response.
Issue resolution is an important step because it is the end of a process that was initiated by the user. Once the issue has been resolved, the technician provides the user with a description of what happened, as well as additional information (like a troubleshooting guide) to help them resolve the issue on their own. If the user is an internal employee, the incident is closed and archived for future reference. The resolution will be reviewed and once confirmed the service ticket will be marked as closed.
