VI Service Desk vs. HelpdeskEddy

The VI Service Desk serves as a specialized IT help desk solution tailored for HCL Notes/Domino®, providing an integrated approach that maximizes return on investment (ROI) and reduces total cost of ownership (TCO). You have the option to create a comprehensive Service Catalog that includes Incident, Problem, Change, and Request Management processes, or you can use the VI Service Desk as a standard ticketing system while adding features as necessary. With the sophisticated SLA Engine, you’re able to define parameters for initiating, halting, and concluding SLAs based on the status of tickets. Milestones for SLAs can be set as a fraction of the SLA time elapsed, which can automatically generate alerts for the appropriate personnel. The VI Service Desk is capable of global deployment, functioning as a centralized web application, a replicated Notes application, or both, thus ensuring versatility. Access to the platform is available through the Notes client, popular web browsers, iPads, and a variety of mobile devices, enhancing user convenience. Incorporating established Domino security protocols, the VI Service Desk allows for customizable security settings based on user roles, groups, and specific requirements. This adaptable approach not only supports stringent security measures but also enables organizations to align their security frameworks with their operational demands effectively. Ultimately, this ensures that users can work efficiently while maintaining the integrity of their IT environment.

Consolidate all the channels through which customers typically reach you into one unified platform. Optimize the ticket management workflow to increase efficiency. Whether customers reach out via email, WhatsApp, Instagram Direct, or leave comments on Facebook, all their inquiries will be converted into tickets that populate your central portal. Interactions with clients take place directly within the Helpdeskeddy interface, which keeps a thorough record of all communications in the client's profile for future reference. This means your agents will no longer have to juggle multiple systems or switch between various tabs to handle inquiries. Each ticket comes with a designated status, and once an operator has addressed a request, they can easily mark it as "completed" and move on to tackle the next issue. Furthermore, new tickets can be automatically allocated to operators based on their current workload or specific attributes of the tickets. You can also set up automated replies for customer inquiries, along with notifications about the status of ticket processing. This all-encompassing system not only boosts productivity significantly but also enhances customer satisfaction through prompt and organized responses, creating a smoother experience for both clients and agents alike. By ensuring that every interaction is tracked and managed efficiently, you foster a more responsive and effective customer support operation.
