VI Service Desk vs. Revelation helpdesk

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.

The distinctive Self Service Interface offers a customized experience for both users and their supervisors, enabling them to generate new tickets, keep an eye on existing ones, and access various dashboards. You can set up predefined action notes that are easily accessible via a dropdown menu in any active ticket within Revelation. Quick notes can be organized and associated by end user, group, team, and other pertinent criteria as required. With Revelation’s Multi-Edit functionality, modifying multiple tickets that share the same action note is more straightforward than before. This Multi-Edit feature permits you to apply identical action notes to different tickets, distribute billable time across multiple tickets, or even move tickets between various clients or projects. Furthermore, Revelation’s Storyline feature offers a dynamic visual representation of a ticket’s progress, tracking its journey from initiation to resolution. The Storyline feature depicts a timeline of system notes, monitors how long a ticket has been open, and displays the status of the ticket using a color-coded system, which enhances the overall ticket management process. By utilizing these features, you can significantly improve the efficiency and effectiveness of managing your workflow, ensuring that tasks are completed promptly and accurately.
