Understanding the need

Why Therefore HelpDesk™ exists.

Information Technology is typically seen as a key strategic enabler. Most medium to large sized companies have found that an efficient and responsive IT function needs to be underpinned by an effective help desk application. The Therefore team has undertaken extensive research to determine what IT management requires from a help desk application — and built HelpDesk™ from that knowledge.

Therefore has carefully researched the burn points associated with running a help desk and developed the ultimate help desk management tool — Therefore HelpDesk™. It is internet-based, can be rapidly configured, accessed from anywhere, adds value from day one and improves the ease of help desk management.

Key benefits

What Therefore HelpDesk™ delivers.

Internet-based, rapidly configured to your needs, always accessible, highly cost effective — adding value from day one.

Rapid configuration

No two help desk environments are alike. Therefore HelpDesk™ can be rapidly configured to meet your needs. Once configured, the process of logging, executing and managing tickets is quick and intuitive.

Anywhere, anytime

Therefore HelpDesk™ is an internet-based tool — accessible from any location with internet connectivity, including by your strategic partners and remote staff.

Management, measurement & reporting

HelpDesk™ optimises your ability to manage your help desk by providing a dashboard, real-time reporting, deadline management, progress status tracking and automated poor performance flagging.

Teams & cross-functional delivery

Help desk staff often log tickets and hand them over to subject matter experts for closing. HelpDesk™ is team-aware, enabling seamless collaboration and coordination of tickets across functional areas.

Accountability & early warning

HelpDesk™ ensures tickets are allocated to the party accountable for their execution — no grey areas that can legitimise non-delivery. The 'Progress Status Early Warning' feature flags tickets falling behind the curve for early remedial action.

Staying in the loop

HelpDesk™'s configurable communication cycle keeps users informed of ticket status changes by means of email and SMS.
