Our Support and Help Desk Projects
With managed help desk services, there are evident benefits – your IT infrastructure and all its components are healthy and high-performing. But do you know that you get much more than that? Here are some of unobvious benefits:
- Strengthened cybersecurity due to regularly delivered software updates, security patches, and security monitoring activities.
- Improved relationships with customers, partners, or employees (depending on who are service desk users) who feel that their experience matters for the company as their problems are solved fast.
- Continuity of business processes as many workplaces are very dependent on the technology and can’t operate in case of issues.
What Our Customers Say
To alleviate some of the burden on our inhouse engineers, we sought out a professional team of Tier 1 support staff with a technical background. We partnered with ScienceSoft, and it turned out to be an excellent match. Within just two weeks, their support agents seamlessly integrated into our processes and became an invaluable asset to our team. Thanks to their assistance, we can now process any Tier 1 issue within 15 minutes.
We went with ScienceSoft as our help desk partner and didn’t regret it. ScienceSoft’s team demonstrates high technical competence, a proactive and responsible approach to IT support services, and full compliance with HVG’s SLA. After a year of working together, we requested a ticket package twice as large as the initial one, and now they reliably handle Tier 1 support for many of our clients.
We hired ScienceSoft to provide support for our client during non-business hours and didn't regret the decision. ScienceSoft has been a valuable asset for our in-house IT team. Their agents have demonstrated a remarkable ability to handle tasks swiftly and always maintain excellent availability and responsiveness.
