Instead, areas such as resolving users' requests in a timely manner and successfully resolving an issue on the first call were identified as key opportunities for improvement.

Do you want to know how your company can deliver exceptional support and, as a result, significantly impact your IT department and organization as a whole? Download the Forrester research report, "Thirty-One Best Practices for the Service Desk," to discover proven industry best practices, processes and technologies, including how to:
