1. Reduce operating costs
Instead of paying per full-time employee (FTE), as most technical support operations operate today, outsourcing pricing models offer "pay per ticket", eliminating costly and underutilized human resources. When outsourced, there is no cost to train service representatives, purchase and implement software systems, office space, or equipment and infrastructure to make it all work.
2. Reduce volumes
Outsourced technical support focuses on reducing the volume of support tickets through automation, self-service tools, and predictive demand forecasting, as well as identifying relevant training needs for users.
3. Improve response times
The subcontractor is responsible for responding to specific service levels for ticket response and resolution, among others. Each ticket is tracked and measured, and when SLAs are not met, correction plans are implemented immediately. The subcontractor is responsible for implementing SLAs to avoid fines and is encouraged to keep customers happy so that they can provide long-term referrals and services to potential new customers.
4. Take advantage of existing experience
The technical support outsourcing companies are in the IT sector, they invest and keep their technical support teams up to date with the best training, techniques and service management processes, technical tools and best practices. In addition, dedicated technical support professionals are often more motivated to stay on the job as the contractors they work for have career incentive plans that motivate them to move forward in the service industry IT.
5. Flexibility
In cases where the demand for assistance is greater or vice versa, your business does not have to worry about finding and training more people. The technical support subcontractor is designed to increase or decrease to meet changing demand, while your company only pays for the number of tickets actually processed.
6. Focus on the main mission of the company.
It is not uncommon to see organizations spending a lot of time on non-core business activities when technical problems arise. When this happens, the company loses its strategic focus, resulting in lost revenue and productivity, and ultimately, dissatisfied customers. The company needs to focus on the heart and manage customer relationships using key metrics and predictive metrics provided by the technical support outsourcing partner.
Finally, in today's cloudy and mobile world, organizations must innovate faster and be more agile. To achieve this, organizations must focus on what they do best and add the most value to the organization. Outsourcing support services or other nonessential functions generally save money and free up resources to focus on what's most important to your business. What are you waiting for?
