Help Desk and Ticketing for IT Companies
Ticketing systems are the enabling technology behind an effective Help Desk call center. But full-featured ticketing systems are not only expensive to license and staff, but also difficult to set up and maintain. Smaller IT service providers do not have the required budget or personnel. Progent's Help Desk and ticketing solution gives IT service providers an affordable way to retain their own branding while offering their customers responsive desktop support backed by a best-of-breed ticketing platform and supplemented by fast escalation to subject matter experts.
