Asset Management
DDL works closely with our clients to develop an asset management plan, whereby we conduct an inventory to identify all IT assets, particularly the assets that need to be excessed or cascaded into the environment. We have found that most clients are not aware of how many IT assets are actually in their system or where they are located. We also develop an asset refresh plan in which we recommend refreshing one-third of the inventory each year. Our goal is to help the client lower the total cost of ownership and leverage its IT investments.
Desktop Computing
Our desktop service delivery processes and tools are scalable, modular, and flexible. We integrate commercial-off-the-shelf tools with existing IT investments to maximize service management and minimize cost. Also, we provide end users with a single phone number to call for problem resolution. Due to our use of tools, knowledge base, and practical experience, we are able to minimize problems while maintaining a high first-call resolution rate. The Remedy Action Request System allows the help desk managers compile statistics to measure service level agreements (SLAs), prepare trend analysis, and identify areas for improvement in end-user support.
