Inside Help Desk Software

The slow economy has left many IT departments having to “make do” with help-desk software investments that are becoming antiquated. Luckily, there are companies like the Israel-based help-desk software vendor SysAid, which recently launched integrated IT help desk live chat.

The latest version of their help desk platform, SysAid 6.5, will feature the live chat integration. This newest addition will help IT departments make their technology last longer, and more specifically, will help them manage the influx of inquiries via phone and email. SysAid surveyed customers globally, and found that a large percentage weren’t utilizing a live chat platform for their help desk needs. However, the vast majority of users are familiar with SMS services, so the integration allows IT technicians to support multiple channels and end users much more easily.

It is interesting that this solutions pretty much eliminates the need for phones in help desk, but an IDC research director notes that live chat capabilities are essential to any company offering a SaaS help desk solution. Having the ability to support five to six users at once—far more than can be helped via phone support—offers a great competitive advantage. SaaS help desk software is very young right now, but live chat integrations could be the innovation that helps it mature, and quickly.

Web Help Desk has continued to be a leading provider of help desk software for a number of industries in the past few years. Prior to all the new technological innovations such as Cloud Computing or SaaS, Web Help Desk was providing companies with its award winning help desk software platform. Web Help Desk has continued to innovate to maintain its position on top of the help desk software industry as it has recently announced new versions of its existing help desk platform.

As customer service gains in importance in today’s business world, help desk software is becoming a more popular choice for many companies. With tools that can still provide effective monitoring of its agents, Web Help Desk Lite is similar to the full fledged version of its popular help desk software. The main difference is associated with the cost and convenience as Web Help Desk Lite is aimed towards companies who cannot afford a more advanced solution and don’t have the resources to dedicate towards deploying a more complex help desk platform.

Web Help Desk Lite will be offered as a SaaS product as well as an on-premise “lighter” version of its existing help desk software product. This should provide companies the ability to afford a solution that can meet their company needs. For more information on what Web Help Desk Lite has to offer, you can find a list of features here.
