Group 2 devised a Helpdesk Error
Ticketing System (ETS) that will facilitate and streamline the error
reporting and equipment handling process for the
Center for Academic Technologies at the George Washington University. Users will be able to use the
system in order to generate problem tickets, which then will be forwarded to
the appropriate support staff designated for that particular issue. The
ticket generation sub-process is designed to be robust, covering issues
ranging from broken hardware, to software conflicts, network issues, and
etc. Staff members possess the ability to “escalate” / forward tickets to
other staff members if a ticket is not under their domain of responsibility
or the issue has been incorrectly identified. In addition to streamlining
the support turnaround of the department, (ETS) will bring added benefits in
the form of the introduction of metrics on staff and hardware performance.
Important information such as staff response time and computer performance
can be collected to facilitate managerial decisions |
