Driving IT Help Desk Efficiency with Customer-Centric Remote Support
The IT help desk is a high-stress environment – and sometimes it can feel
downright chaotic. While the obvious objective is to resolve technical issues,
IT help desks also battle call length, employee dissatisfaction and low morale.
IDC predicts that by 2011, 73 percent of the U.S. workforce will be mobile,
inevitably increasing the pressure on the IT help desk. That's why more
companies are turning to Web-based, customer-centric remote support to support a
burgeoning remote workforce.

You techies are your own worst enemy
I have to come clean and say that I am not a techie, but a user. Yes, a user! I
have built a couple of PCs and use Linux on all four PCs at home, so hopefully I
have evolved a little further than some of the people you have to deal with on a
day-to-day basis …
