Benefits of Outsourcing Your Help Desk
Financial services firms have unique help desk needs because both in-house staff and clients may require assistance. The numerous platforms involved in completing everyday tasks add to your challenges as well.
GDC’s 100% U.S.-owned and -based Technical Service Desk is your answer. Our flagship offering sets the standard for high-quality IT support for financial services. We provide three separate tiers of care with many benefits, including:
- A single point of contact: Get full-service support for all incoming IT requests. Our representatives handle each end-user call, from back-office staff to clients.
- Extended-hours coverage: Allow us to provide supplemental coverage when your IT staff is off-duty. GDC offers around-the-clock support to give your clients the assistance they need during evenings, weekends, and holidays.
- Overflow support: Keep up with periods of high support demand following infrastructure or website changes. Our team of skilled agents takes the extra calls coming in when your IT professionals are serving other customers.
- Scalability: Add support when you need it without delay. GDC’s flexible help desk options mean you can grow your business and provide end-user assistance without a time-consuming recruiting, hiring, and training process.
- Service level agreements: Define what successful help desk performance means to you. We partner with our customers to create the service level agreement that works best and identify the most meaningful tracking metrics.
- Improved productivity: Leverage in-house IT staff for more revenue- or growth-oriented projects. Our agents quickly resolve level-one calls like password resets and program navigation questions from our U.S.-based call centers.
