You may have worked for or are currently working for a company that provides onsite Help Desk support. What is your opinion of the service that you have gotten? Does it remind you of the DMV? A lot of the people I talk to chuckle when I ask how their Help Desk experience is at their current company. Did you know on average that first response to a Help Desk ticket takes approximately 24 hours and roughly 30% of Help Desk tickets go unresolved?

Based on the statistics above, your company would pay $286,750 per year to support its staff leaving 30% of your requests unresolved. You could outsource at less than half that cost and resolve all of your requests, wouldn’t that make more sense? nearData provides Help Desk 24/7/365 (http://neardata.net/services-managed-services.php), to support your entire staff appropriately.
