A Multi-Tiered Delivery System

Help desk vendors utilizes a multi-tiered approach to service delivery. Tier 1 or the entry-level support, handles the highest volume of support requests, and provides support to basic hardware and software issues.

Offshore help desk outsourcing companies in the Philippines make use of a clearly defined service implementation plan in every outsourcing initiative.

The implementation stage follows right after both parties have reached an agreement and the length of implementation may take a couple of weeks or months but the average length is anywhere from 2 weeks to a month, depending on the complexity of the client‘s requirements.

From Blueprint to Implementation

In general, they begin the implementation stage by first looking at the current support process of the client, its strengths and areas for improvement.

After identifying service level requirements, the next step is to outline the support process or the work-flow. They draw up standard operating procedures and determine the exact resources needed.

Prior to actual implementation of the outsourced help desk support, they prepare all resources and support activities within the specified period.

Once the support structure goes live, the help desk diligently tracks, measures and analyze the effectiveness and level of efficiency within the first three months comparing it to performance metrics established in the service level agreement.

Offshore help desk outsourcing companies in the Philippines will then report the results to clients. While this methodology in the service delivery continues throughout the length of the partnership with the client, BPO providers have a commitment to continue their service in order to improve processes and outputs.

Typically, contact centers have a one dedicated person assigned to be the client’s single point of contact.
