Classic Mistake

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Kevin Devin posted something today about his workplace, wondering if the snake of Corporate IT was eating it’s own tail.

When I read his story, one part jumped out at me immediately. Here was a classic example of tech support folks not having the authority, or tools, to correct a problem for a user. If I were one of those help desk guys, I might have gone ahead and made the call, regardless of the time difference. If you want to keep the control and authority and don’t want your front line support people to have the power to fix a problem, then you have to deal with the calls at all hours.

Maybe I’m just a bit jaded after working tech support for so long. 😉

    Speaking of big stinks, I just had to replace a monitor upstairs. I knew as soon as I hit that hallway that it had shorted, the odor was a definite give away. Luckily we had an extra sitting at an empty cubicle, so I didn’t have to run out and buy one on the spot….

    The survey results are out, and there’s a ton on information about how law firms are doing training and user support. I haven’t had time to do more than give it a cursory glance, but there’s definitely some interesting discussion points. Download a copy. Also, there’s a white paper available with some analysis of what…

    Failure to Communicate

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 4 minutes

    This is a bit of a follow-up to a post a few days ago about whether having an open ticketing system would help with the communications between techs and the users they support. As I mentioned there, and talked more about in the comments, when you have systemic failure to communicate, it’s much more than…

    An interesting, albeit anonymous, comment left on a previous post: In my Firm’s IT group (3 techs and 3 application support/trainers) we don’t have people dedicated to help desk – it’s part of everyone’s job. We all do other admin, setup, and development work which constantly change with the Firm’s needs. The model provides great…
