If there's no proper offboarding process in place, organizations can easily lose track of the necessary steps to terminate a business relationship. This, of course, includes employees returning equipment and can be the cause of data and money loss. Not retrieving equipment from workers can pose a severe security issue since devices can contain confidential information and credentials to multiple company platforms and cloud services.

This is a key step in order to properly solve problems as quickly as possible, and comply with SLAs. In , you can set up your structure to manage your agents’ labor by using help desks. You can organize them by labels and sub-labels, making it easy to scale tickets, if necessary.

We are approaching the end of Q4 and it is time to defend the IT budget for next year. It is then that, as IT managers, we ask ourselves: wouldn't it be convenient to outsource IT? Of course, this is not a simple question to answer, mainly because we need to analyze multiple factors in order to find an answer that fits each organization.

Same as with an email ticketing system, integrating Microsoft Teams with your help desk is a way to use an established communication channel in your organization to your advantage.
