The Organisational Set-Up of a Help Desk - Alen Parker - ContactCenterWorld.com Blog

The Organisational Set-Up of a Help Desk

IT and its associated industries have been growing in a seamless fashion for quite a sometime now. Despite the tumultuous period of the great depression during the late 2000s and the early 2010s, the IT sector continues to sail the sea. Along with the core operations, the peripheral processes in the IT sector are also gaining rapid momentum. The bifurcation of processes such as KPO, LPO, EPO etc. from the conventional BPO processes is one such analogy.

Tech-support, help desk call centres are finding it difficult to keep up with the growing demand. A lot of these call centres are located in the developing world where it is more cost-effective. This growing industry has been a reliable bread earner for fresh graduates across countries such as India, Philippines, Brazil etc. It provides an alternative to businesses worldwide to outsource their non-core processes such as technical support, accounting, etc. at an affordable cost of operation. It relieves the organization from the associated burdens of business management and helps in keeping the focus on the core business activities.

What is a help-desk call centre?
