One of the most common questions I hear from IT support managers is “How many analysts or technicians do I need to support our end users?” It’s a great question, but one that is rarely answered adequately. The result is that many IT Service and Support teams are not staffed properly because they do not follow any sort of proven methodology when making headcount decisions. Instead, they rely on “gut feel” or “instinct” when it comes to IT Service and Support staffing.

In this webcast, MetricNet defines a methodology for determining the appropriate headcount for the service desk and desktop support. Using MetricNet’s headcount methodology, your IT Service and Support functions can be assured that they will be staffed to meet the needs and expectations of their customers, while simultaneously delivering services in an efficient, fiscally responsible manner.
