the part nobody prices in

Give Tier 2 the checks already completed

A VPN failure and a shared-drive outage need different intake. Configure HeroDash fields for affected service, device, error message, users affected and business deadline. Use the service and impact fields to route the ticket to the relevant queue. Keep the runbook steps already attempted and their results in the case history, so the technician can begin at the right point.

For joiners and leavers, record the requester, start or end date, requested access and approval owner. Separate a provisioning request from confirmation that access has changed. Your administrators control account permissions; the support workflow should record their result and give the requester the next update. This page covers the support desk, rather than software-development outsourcing.

what comes off the call

The minimum context for a useful IT escalation

Use your identity-check procedure before discussing account details. Users keep passwords, recovery codes and MFA responses in the approved authentication flow.

  • User or requester reference and approved contact method
  • Affected service, device and operating system
  • Exact error and time first observed
  • Users affected and business deadline
  • Runbook steps completed and their results
  • Approval owner or Tier 2 queue and next update

questions

What buyers ask before they sign.

How much does it cost?

AI voice is US$0.15 per minute and web chat is US$0.15 per session. Live agents start at US$650 per month including 1,500 minutes — about US$0.43 per minute — or from US$5.80 per hour for a dedicated agent working only your account. The minimum engagement is half a seat, not a five-seat block.

How fast can you start answering our phones?

Five days is our normal window to staff a live account — that is five days to find and place an agent who fits your business, not five days of software setup. AI voice can go live sooner because there is no hiring step.

Do you answer in Spanish?

Yes, on the same number, with agents in our Bolivia and Nicaragua operation centres — native Spanish, not machine translation. English and Spanish share one queue, and we cover 60+ more languages if you need them.

Can I mix AI and live agents on one number?

That is the normal setup. You decide which call types go to AI and which reach a person, and you can change the split as your volume changes. Nothing about that decision is locked in at signup.

How should password-reset requests be handled?

Follow your organization’s identity verification and reset process. Guide eligible users through the approved self-service route, and send exceptions to the administrator. Account permissions and authentication requirements remain part of your IT policy.

What needs to be agreed before help desk outsourcing starts?

Define the services covered, support hours, runbooks, identity checks and Tier 2 handoff. Test account access and a sample escalation, including what the requester receives when the next team takes ownership.
