The
Service Desk
As
part of our efforts to provide a more focused and streamlined process
for dealing with your "Service Requests", we have implemented
a Service Delivery Manager role at Ategra. This has several benefit's
to you (the client) and also allows us to manage our delivery to you in
a more organised and timely manner.
The Service Delivery Managers’ job will be to arrange and manage these
requests and allow our consultants to focus more on delivering high quality
service to your business.
Other benefits include...
To this end, could all new service requests be emailed through to
our Service Delivery coordinator? This is our preferred option. For those
organisations that have a dedicated internal mail server, we will likely
have already put a "Systems Support" email address in your Global
Address Book. Otherwise you can send requests to :-
ategra@Ategra.com.au
If you don't have this available to you, then see us for assistance to
set this up for you. If Email is down, or the matter is urgent - you can
also contact the Ategra office on 08-8988 0888
and we will handle your request this way. We would ask that you don't
call our cell phone’s directly, except in cases of emergency or where
required for other suitable reasons. If the issue is an emergency, our
preference would be that the Ategra phone line be contacted in the first
instance, this is 08 8988 0888. Could you also pass this onto appropriate
people within your organisation that may be dealing with us directly?
Upon receipt of the request the coordinator will assign a consultant,
job number, priority and advise you by return email. This will be based
on a mixture of criteria, but the intention here is to continue with a
model, whereby you have a designated primary Ategra consultant assigned
to you, who is the most likely person to be looking after you. Will also
continue to work with providing a client relationship manager to handle
things at that level.
Any email or other dialogue in relation to existing Jobs will be handled
by the consultant directly assigned to the job and either they or the
Service Delivery co-ordinator will be able to give you any updates on
progress. To this end when contacting the office you will be prompted
with a question as to whether your request relates to a new or existing
request. If it's new, we will create a new task for you.
When sending us a Service request - please provide us the following
information:
End User Contact Name & Organisation
End User contact Phone Number
Brief Description of the issue/request
Any additional information that may be relevant
Priority, 1 critical, 2 medium, 3 not urgent,4
low priority or Next site visit?
Another aspect that we have typically experienced in the past is
whereby you may store issues/requirements for us attending on the next
site visit. Our preference would be for you to also pass these on when
they come up, and this again will allow us to estimate how much time is
required and possible bring any required resources with us? You could
simply advise Next visit in your email.
