Step 1: Discovery
We make sure we fully understand the people, processes, technology, outcomes, and budget you have in mind before customizing our solution. We uncover your anticipated monthly incident volume, define hours of coverage, identify services to be provided, and plenty more.
Step 2: Solution Review
Following the discovery phase, we present the solution we’ve designed for your business – not for your competitor or the business down the street, but a help desk approach designed specifically for you. First, we review the challenges that brought you here, and how we address them. Then we walk you through our five-stage onboarding process to get services up and running. From there we review how we handle service delivery, service management, quality control, and continuous improvement to keep you on the right path.
Step 3: Pricing Review
Once we’ve come together with your IT team and executive leadership on your service delivery expectations, we outline pricing options. We describe the support options available, explain typical terms, and give you a complete A-Z understanding of what a predictable help desk service spend will entail.
Step 4: Verbal Solution Acceptance
Now that you have a thorough understanding of our suggested solution and proposed pricing, we invite you to verbally accept both, which gives us the go-ahead to prepare a written Help Desk Agreement and Statement of Work.
Step 5: Agreement & Statement of Work
A great working partnership starts with a clear understanding of expectations, which is where the Help Desk Agreement comes in. During this stage, we sit down with your team to finalize the Statement of Work. Together, we’ll dot the i’s, cross the t’s, potentially eat our weight in muffins, and outline the scope of the help desk outsourcing services we’ll be providing (with pricing – we don’t believe in surprises when it comes to your money).
Step 6: Implementation
Once we have a signed Help Desk Agreement and Statement of Work, we get to work with the onboarding process, which involves setting up services, delivery of services, service management, process improvement, and reporting. And with that, we launch our kick-off meeting and welcome you to the GHDSi family!
