C / SUPPORT DESK
EXAMPLE REQUEST / C-104

Ready for Monday.

“Our new colleague needs a laptop, email and access to the team’s files.”

REQUEST DETAILNeeds information

The useful questions first.

Before creating accounts, establish what the new person needs and who can approve it.

  • Start date, role and working location
  • Device needs and existing equipment
  • Required applications and shared folders
  • Named manager for access approval
CIRCUIT / EXAMPLE REPLY

“We’ll map out the setup. Could the approving manager confirm which shared folders and applications are needed?”

Illustrative workflow. No ticket is created and no account or device is changed.

Agree the scope.
Know where you stand.

Proposed responsibilities, made visible.
A real plan is agreed before work starts.

Support areaWhat we would coverWhat we agree first

Everyday help

Help with agreed applications and devices, through a defined contact route.

Named users, supported equipment and business support hours.

Care of systems

Agreed updates, backup checks and access reviews.

Which systems are included and who is responsible for each task.

A separate project

An office move, migration, new equipment or a defined setup.

Project brief, dependencies, handover and separate quotation.

Third-party costs

Software licences, hardware and connectivity.

Itemised costs and approval before purchasing or changing services.

Before a change is made

A clear request. An authorised contact. Agreed scope and costs. A plan for handover.

A clear way in.

Understand

Your team, equipment, current tools and the frustrations taking up your time.

Agree

Support hours, responsibilities and a scope everyone understands.

Keep moving

Ongoing help and regular conversations as the business changes.

For the first conversation: team size, current tools, main frustrations and upcoming changes.

A few things
you might ask.

Is this for a small team?

That is the idea. This concept is designed around independent businesses that need a practical IT partner without an in-house department.

Can you help with a one-off problem?

The proposed service includes both ongoing support and separately scoped projects. The first conversation would establish what help is appropriate.

What would a plan include?

Devices, people, systems and support hours would be agreed before work begins. This portfolio concept has no active plans or service commitments.

Let IT get on
with its job.

Real people. Clear answers.
One less thing on your list.
