Web Based Helpdesk - Available to purchase as either a standalone solution or with NetSupport DNA Asset Management suite.

Effortlessly track, organise, manage and answer the toughest desktop support challenges with NetSupport ServiceDesk - a powerful and entirely web-based help desk and ticket management solution.

Service management staff know that managing user expectations and keeping a history of all issues and resolutions is the key to providing quality support.

Minimising the amount of system downtime is essential together with ensuring an effective solution is in place to assist and support users of IT assets.

Ideally suited for small and medium sized organisations, yet fully scalable for the larger Enterprise, NetSupport ServiceDesk has been developed to minimise the amount of system downtime whilst providing effective support for all users of IT assets. Helpdesk users can be on Windows 2000 / 2003 / XP / Vista / 2008, Mac or Linux systems using IE 5.5 or later, Firefox 1.1 or later or Netscape 6 or later. For Remote Control integration Windows 2000 or later is required.

Web-based

As a fully web based system, NetSupport ServiceDesk requires no software pre-installation and provides an import wizard to allow for simple importing of user details from other external systems.

Customise

As every organization is unique, possessing different requirements, NetSupport ServiceDesk allows for the customisation of many key features within the solution. From operator functionality to the creation of specific data entry fields, NetSupport ServiceDesk can be tailored to fit seamlessly into your organisation.

Reports

Use the real time corporate status reports to gauge the effectiveness of how support requests are being managed and maintained. Encouraging the improved productivity of the help desk is only half the challenge. Educating your users to reduce the frequency of future support requests is equally important. With NetSupport ServiceDesk, users are able to search for answers before logging a support request and check and review on-line the status of their Help Desk ticket.

Knowledge

Knowing what hardware and software is installed on your user's PC will help to reduce call escalation whilst increasing problem resolution. By integrating a 3rd party inventory solution - such as NetSupport DNA - you can use NetSupport ServiceDeskto obtain a full inventory for each of your users' systems, together with an ongoing history by user for all previous support requests. NetSupport ServiceDesk empowers your help desk operators, giving them the information needed to deal with more requests in less time.

Efficiency

Because no two organisations are the same and therefore rely on different critical systems to remain competitive and efficient, NetSupport ServiceDesk allows for automatic priority assignment of ticket types. For example, a trouble ticket relating to "Server Failure" can be automatically assigned "Urgent Priority" status and allocated to the "Server" specialist within the Help Desk team.
