Nowadays, help desk s aren’t enough: companies want true service centers capable of delivering complex, strategic solutions. IT Problem Management is the first single source for building world-class problem management processes. Drawing upon his extensive consulting experience, Gary Walker presents specific improvements you can make to achieve breakthrough results in any help desk or service center-in-house or out-sourced.

  • Detailed metrics for measuring your responsiveness
  • Better ways to create and use service level agreements
  • State-of-the-art tools for customer interaction, service delivery, and proactive monitoring
