Channel mix is the percentage of incoming tickets that arrive at the service desk through various channels. The most common channels include walk-up, voice, email, web, chat, and self-help. Channel mix at level 1 is rapidly evolving and is considered one of the industry’s megatrends. In 2007 voice calls represented almost 80% of all ticket volume. Today, voice accounts for just over 50% of incoming ticket volume.

There are, however, better end states for channel mix, and less optimal end states for channel mix. In this webcast, Jeff Rumburg will share the key drivers of channel mix, strategies to optimize channel mix, and guiding principles from organizations that come closest to truly optimizing their incoming channel mix.

IT Support Outsourcing in 2023: Rising Above the Typical Challenges

Instead of doggedly pursuing training, certification, and maturation…. and then waiting years to see any kind of benefit from all that effort, many organizations have decided instead to hack ITIL. An ITIL hack is simply a shortcut that allows you to achieve the benefits of a mature ITIL practice without having to go through months or even years of effort.

In a benchmark that MetricNet performed for one of the largest insurance companies in the world, it was discovered that end users in this company were logging an average of 2 service desk incidents per month. That’s about double the industry average, which was concerning not only because the average cost of a ticket at level 1 was about $25, but also because every ticket represents productive time that’s lost by the user. And that’s usually the bigger cost – that is, the lost user productivity – rather than the direct cost of support.

In this webcast, Jeff Rumburg will reveal how this this organization reached their goal of 50% reduction in total incidents – not in a year – but in less than six months! Attendees will learn the four simple, but very effective steps this organization took to realize all the benefits of ITIL, without going through the pain of maturing the formal ITIL practice of problem management.
