NetSupport ServiceDesk v3

New name…… Same  ‘Award Winning’  quality….. Introducing:

NetSupport ServiceDesk v3.0

NetSupport ServiceDesk is the new name for two-time winner of Network Computing’s Service Management Product of the Year award, NetSupport DNA Helpdesk.  Are we changing a winning formula? Certainly not, but with this new version we feel we’ve improved the formula to such an extent that to do it justice the product deserved to be renamed.  With its totally restyled interface and clearly defined workflow processes providing ‘out-of-the-box’ compatibility with the core Incident, Problem and Change Management ITIL guidelines, it’s now even easier for your support team to manage customer expectations and minimise the amount of system downtime; and as a fully web-based solution, NetSupport ServiceDesk is easily integrated into your existing IT infrastructure without the need for a lengthy implementation and training phase.

Overview

February 2009: Latest Enhancements in version 2.80

Support For Mobile Devices

NetSupport DNA Helpdesk now provides built-in support for mobile devices ensuring that operators working remotely can still receive and update tickets.

NetSupport DNA Helpdesk will automatically detect when it is accessed from a mobile device and display a set of simplified pages that can be used from most common mobile devices.

Effortlessly track, organise, manage and answer the toughest desktop support challenges with DNA Helpdesk- 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, DNA Helpdesk 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 DNA Helpdesk 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, DNA Helpdesk allows for the customisation of many key features within the solution. From operator functionality to the creation of specific data entry fields, DNA Helpdesk 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 DNA Helpdesk, 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 DNA Helpdesk to obtain a full inventory for each of your users’ systems, together with an ongoing history by user for all previous support requests. DNA Helpdesk 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, DNA Helpdesk 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.

ITIL

DNA Helpdesk has been developed in accordance with the ITIL® Service Desk function described in OGC’s ITIL® Service Support book.
