The latest devices. The greatest platforms. The smartest apps. New technologies alone are not enough to increase productivity, drive innovation or reduce cost; it’s the way people adopt and exploit them that really makes the difference.

Many organisations have recognised the need to invest in new technologies to empower their users in the digital age. But that’s where the investment often ends. As a result, employees are still reliant on disjointed services and traditional channels when they need support.

Computacenter helps organisations transform both user technologies and user support for the digital age. We eliminate frustrating helpdesk queues with an online knowledge portal. We improve time-consuming order requests with self-service solutions. We replace reactive incident management with proactive data-driven prevention. We enable, we enhance, we engage.

We understand that users need, and want, to be enabled to work from anywhere at anytime. And that means providing a seamless consumer-like experience, regardless of location, platform or device. We analyse user behaviour. We identify opportunities for change. We drive improvements.

Our multi-channel user engagement services don’t just improve employee satisfaction, they maximise business return. By working with Computacenter to transform the way IT services engage with users, organisations can establish a more productive and digitally-enabled workforce.

Transforming employee engagement with self-service,

preventative analytics and user adoption services

At Computacenter, we understand that engagement is not a one-size-fits-all solution. And that business and user engagement needs are constantly evolving.

Through Digital Me, our people-centric approach to the digital workplace, we’re continually innovating and investing in new solutions and services. For example, our Next Generation Service Desk online and mobile engagement portal is continuously evolving with new features and functionality. And across our delivery organisation, we develop, test and trial artificial intelligence, automation and analytics solutions before bringing improvements to our customers.

As an integral part of our Digital Me approach, all our user engagement investments and innovations are designed to help employees work faster and smarter. We recognise that individuals have personal choices; some prefer to phone and talk to an expert, while others like to solve their own problems.

Computacenter enables organisations to balance employee choice with consistency and cost savings. We offer a combination of centralised, local and remote services that can be mixed and matched to user needs and business demand. With our scale and resources, we can provide user engagement services to customers across the globe.

We also offer a combination of provisioning models for our user engagement services, which gives business leaders and IT departments greater control and flexibility. We can deploy our online and mobile user engagement portal as an out-of-the-box solution, integrated with the Computacenter Service Desk processes, or integrated with customers’ existing ITSM tools.

We help our customers deliver responsive user engagement services that meet the demands of competing in a digital age.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE

UCB maximises patient value and employee efficiency with one model for IT end user services

OBJECTIVEMillions of people living with neurology, immunology and bone conditions depend on UCB’s medicines for a better quality of life. Providing a consistent end user experience to its users as workplace technologies evolve is a key priority for UCB. It wanted to establish a global service desk and engage the same partner to deliver local support across Europe and Americas.

SOLUTIONOver a short transition period, users in different countries were gradually moved to the new service, which is delivered by dedicated agents based at Computacenter’s Global Service Desks in Spain and the US as well as by local support teams. Computacenter’s end user services teams partner with UCB on a daily basis to contribute the best IT experience to all UCB employees and external collaborators in more than 40 countries.

OUTCOMEWith a global model for end user support, UCB can unlock both efficiency and financial gains. The partnership with Computacenter enables it to maximise support resources and deliver a more consistent user experience. Ensuring greater consistency will also help to drive greater user productivity and satisfaction.

Hays digitises IT support and drives greater employee productivity with Next Generation Service Desk

OBJECTIVERevenue generation at Hays is dependent on the productivity of its 2,200-plus UK sales consultants. Technology is increasingly being used to streamline the recruitment process, which means employees’ IT queries and issues need to be dealt with quickly. With the majority of IT support still telephone-based, Hays wanted to provide employees with a broader choice of engagement channels.

SOLUTIONHays signed up to Computacenter’s Next Generation Service Desk (NGSD) solution as part of an existing managed services contract. Via an online portal, 5,500 users in 21 countries can now choose from a range of digitised support features – from logging their own incidents and initiating online chats to searching knowledge articles. Business champions, tailored internal communications and a development hothouse helped keep the two-month implementation timeline on track and maximise user adoption.

OUTCOMESixty per cent of IT support transactions at Hays now happen online, which includes an average of 1,180 web chats and 370 self-logged incidents per month. By providing relevant and responsive support 24x7, Hays can maximise the time that staff spend on revenue-generating activities, which helps to drive profitable growth. This user-centric support experience will also contribute to greater staff retention and satisfaction.
