CodeBlue has completed a ‘knowledge base’ project inside its Service Desk that – while originally developed for 300-seat customer Astute Limited – now ensures every customer of the CodeBlue Service Desk is serviced by staff with intimate knowledge of their business.
The CodeBlue Service Desk supports the 300-user network of Astute. Users telephone CodeBlue when a problem first strikes, and receive remote support and diagnostics. More diffi cult problems are escalated, either to a CodeBlue engineer or to the Astute software development team. CodeBlue successfully designed and executed a project that delivered four-fold benefits: reducing fault rates; cutting time taken to resolve problems; increasing user satisfaction; and delivering a more consistently excellent service.
Called the ‘Knowledge Base’ project, it is now implemented throughout the CodeBlue Service Desk, for the benefit of all CodeBlue customers. It ensures every CodeBlue Service Desk customer receives assistance from staff who are intimately acquainted with each customer’s unique IT environment.
The ‘Knowledge Base’ describes a living and growing body of knowledge about a customer’s calls to the Service Desk. Each problem logged with the Service Desk – and its solution – adds to the sum of knowledge about that customer. As new faults or events occur, the knowledge base grows in usefulness. Users get speedy, company-specific knowledge, from each and every member of the CodeBlue team.
"User satisfaction with the Service Desk has increased sharply. I'm pleased with the responsiveness of CodeBlue, and the speed at which they executed."
