i know quite a few major companies that have adopted the online database, where they can track their incident to see if any progressing has been made, it has its pro's and con's. the major ones are, reduced calls to the helpdesk to find out what happening with thir incident and then the opposite, calls to the helpdesk asking why their incident has taken longer than the agreed SLA.
What type of help desk software do they have at the place you work?

Also would you say having ITIL on your CV and learning it..has been an advantage??

Does ITIL make you more aware of what service to provide to the customer?

  • It's a common one

  • Yes, it has been an advantage to an extent, as we are not using all of ITIL within our SC.
Does ITIL make you more aware of what service to provide to the customer?
  • No, i was aware what the services i needed to provide to the customer, ITIL has helped me understand more about the contractual? agreements between ourselves and the client, different types of how we deal with disaster recovery and a few more


Another good post?
If so, tell a friend, if not, f*ck off then!

I see the ITIL on many job specs now so I’m interested in what it actually offers.

Dunno, I have implemented our helpdesk system and escalation procedures and things seem to be working ok. Not looked at the ITIL yet though.
