Technical Helpdesk Infrastructure at Outsource2india

The Technical Helpdesk takes care of inquiry management, PC support, server support and support of other devices - such as networking devices, mobile handsets and PDAs, peripherals such as digital cameras and printers and consumer devices such as camcorders and gaming devices. Technical helpdesk outsourcing involves transitioning the technical helpdesk function from within an organization to an external service provider.

Why are Technical Helpdesks essential?

Technical helpdesks contribute to organizational performance in many ways:

• Optimized employee usage of technical resources
• Higher employee morale and confidence in new products and processes
• Organizational flexibility in upgrading to new applications
• Optimized product usage by customers
• Higher levels of product-feature awareness among customers
• Increased customer satisfaction and customer retention
• Inputs for product improvement and new product development
• Database on customer queries and troubleshooting

Outsourcing Technical Support Services to India

In the U.S and the European Union, technical helpdesk is viewed as a short-term career option and attrition rates are very high. In India, technical helpdesks are seen as a viable long-term career considering the surplus of educated and technically trained labor available here. Offshoring technical helpdesk functions to India ensures continuity of operations, high quality and cost benefits.

Global corporations have had to focus on customer service and post-sale technical support as critical service differentiators that help them stay ahead in a highly competitive business environment. Outsourcing IT helpdesk service is no longer looked at as a short-term cost-cutting tool with the focus now shifting to long-term competitive gain.

Technical Helpdesk Outsourcing: Challenges

Transitioning a customer's onsite technical service desk to an offshore model with least disruption and minimum cycle time is a challenge in outsourcing technical support functions.

The Technical Helpdesk Infrastructure capabilities of the offshore partner are a significant factor in ensuring seamless transitioning of helpdesk functions. Offshore technical support centers and IT helpdesks in India invest in cutting-edge technologies and state-of-the art technical service desk infrastructure.

Outsourcing Technical Helpdesk: Benefits

Companies aim to achieve a desired gain on their balance sheets and technical support service providers must relentlessly deliver value in addressing each client's specific business goals. The one-size-fits-all option no longer exists for global contact centers - that is, one location, one technology, one business model. Helpdesk models must be tailored to the needs of individual customers for successful outsourcing outcome.

Besides reduced operational costs, outsourcing technical helpdesk services help organizations in many ways:

• Focus on core competencies
• Achieve increased flexibility
• Lower infrastructure investments
• Shorter lead times to set up technical support helpdesks / call centers.
