The customer needed to transform and modernise their in-house, offshore Service Desk for 165,000 users in 66 countries, and transform their engineering services for 60,000 UK-based users. They wanted a trusted partner with a global reach to help them cut cost in these areas and improve user experience through outsourcing several in-house functions. They also required the partner to introduce new technologies to support IT delivery efficiencies, and to deliver continual service improvements whilst also reducing risk.

Connected: a seamless transition from in-house to outsource

The customer chose Computacenter to provide Service Desk and Engineering support. Important to the disposition of equipment is Circular Services, which help contribute towards the client’s commitment to environmental sustainability.

Global Service Desk (24/7/365):

  • Basic Desk & Agent Handling
  • Triage / Enhanced Service
  • Knowledge Management & Self Help
  • Multi-channel Access

Engineering and Circular Services:

  • On Site Support
  • Identity and Access
  • Workplace IMACs
  • Centralised Build & Repair
  • Courier swap services to users
  • Tech Bar
  • User Comms and Scheduling
  • Device Hardware Break-Fix
  • Deskside Support
  • Circular Services
  • Dedicated floorwalkers at contact centres (RoD)

A two-phased implementation approach was adopted, as follows:

  • Current Mode of Operation (CMO): Customer staff were TUPE’d to Computacenter and services were transitioned and delivered ‘As-Is’.
  • Future Mode of Operation (FMO): Services were transformed with several go-live phases ‘chunked’ to accommodate customer implementation readiness.
