Proprietary Application Support

We can provide you with proprietary application support using one of the following three approaches:

Call Routing Only: Using this approach you are providing a single point of contact to your callers. We are taking the call, logging the call, and simply escalating to your internal team according to pre-defined processes.
Top Ten Issues: Using this approach we would offload some of the support from you by resolving calls associated with the top ten issues. All other calls would be escalated to your internal team according to pre-defined processes.
Full Support: Using this approach you would provide our team with training on your application(s) in order to resolve a high percentage of calls upon first contact.

Customer Satisfaction Survey

We can send out an automated email each month asking the caller to complete an independent survey based on five questions. Survey results are tabulated and reported on each month.

Foreign Language Support

GHDSi can help you with your foreign language requirements at the help desk. Depending upon the call volume, language required, and hours of coverage required, GHDSi will either staff foreign language agents to support you or utilize the resources of a language line Over-The-Phone Interpretation (OPI) service. Either way, your employees or customers will be handled with care and efficiency.
