SCHOOL HELP DESK SOFTWARE FAQ

What is the use of school help desk software?

School help desk software allows users to submit service requests for support issues, aiding in their efficient tracking and resolution. It automates IT service management (ITSM), reducing ticket resolution time and providing swift and effective support.

Schools benefit from distributing support workload, collaborating across teams, and leveraging a mobile app for convenient access to notifications and updates on service requests via mobile devices. A comprehensive help desk solution optimizes IT infrastructure and empowers support staff.

What are the features of help desk software?

Help desk software offers customizable functionality, serving as a ticketing system for creating and managing help tickets. It enables real-time communication between agents and requestors and integrates student and asset data. It tracks ticket request and resolution data, and offers integrated reporting templates to provide high-level insights on areas of opportunity.

Help desk software also supports SLA adherence, CRM integration, and ticket/project management. It serves as the centralized hub for an organization’s IT support needs.

How do educational institutions use help desk software?

Educational institutions leverage help desk software to streamline troubleshooting processes and enhance customer support. By uploading asset and user data, the software gains insights into the institution’s resources and user base. Help desk software, such as Incident IQ, offers robust integrations with Student Information Systems (SIS) and Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions for seamless incorporation of this information. Customizable help submission categories eliminate unnecessary options, simplifying user experience.

With comprehensive data and built-in automation, users can efficiently organize tickets, document actions taken, schedule support sessions, create dynamic filters, and access detailed analytics. Incident IQ acts as a centralized hub, addressing various technical issues within educational institutions, ranging from malfunctioning projectors to broken laptops. Additionally, Incident IQ’s help desk solution fully integrates with several business and education-specific softwares, like Microsoft Active Directory, Google SSO, and hundreds of others. This allows all of your processes to work together seamlessly.

What’s the difference between help desk and service desk?

A help desk primarily resolves technical issues for users, such as fixing a broken laptop. It focuses on providing technical support within the IT department.

A service desk, on the other hand, has a broader scope, encompassing user experience, information requests, and new service provisions. For instance, users may approach a service desk to request a new wifi hotspot be assigned to them.

Largely, these differences are cosmetic. Both help desks and service desks facilitate support agents in accepting, organizing, and fulfilling user support requests. They play vital roles in IT asset management and customer support software.

Why do districts need a help desk built for schools?

One-size fits all solutions are a forced fit for K-12 school districts.

Generic help desk solutions fail to prioritize the unique K-12 technology challenge and the customer experience of end users.

Enterprise help desks aim to cater to diverse industries, requiring extensive customization to meet K-12 district requirements. This lack of focus on K-12 results in the exclusion of crucial integrated district data like Student Information Systems (SIS), Single Sign-On (SSO), and asset data from workflows. Furthermore, these products often come with price tags tailored for Fortune 500 companies, not K-12 districts.

Other K-12 solutions aren’t built for today’s classrooms.

Additionally, existing K-12 help desks were designed for outdated stationary computer labs and traditional textbooks. Today’s classrooms demand robust support for 1:1 and blended learning initiatives, involving large-scale deployments of mobile devices. Legacy help desks are ill-equipped to handle the challenges faced by modern-day classrooms.
