The problem
A 64-person firm has one IT coordinator and an outside support company. Every surveyor with a sync problem rings the coordinator's mobile, the same outage gets reported twelve times, and the support company gets tickets with no detail.
How it works
- Answers IT calls, chats and emails from staff at any hour
- Checks the outage list first so known problems get a straight answer
- Walks staff through the simple fixes in the firm's IT guides
- Logs everything else with the right priority and the details the engineer needs
- Pages the on-call engineer for an office that can't work or a security issue
What it connects to
- Ben (surveyor)Hi, 12d won't open, it says no licence available. I'm in Christchurch.
- AgentHi Ben. The 12d Model licence server was restarted for an update at 8.05am and should be back by 9am. Save your work, then reopen 12d after 9am. Is anything else not working?
- Ben (surveyor)Yes, my Trimble controller won't sync the job from yesterday.
- AgentConnect the controller to the office Wi-Fi, open Trimble Access and choose sync. Your field data stays on the controller until it syncs, so don't reset it. Did that work?
- Ben (surveyor)Tried twice, still failing.
- AgentI've logged it as IT-2861, priority 3, with the controller and job details. Daniel Fox at Southlink IT will call you today, and I've let Aroha Tane know.
