Welcome to Q1 Consultants

Q1 IT Consultancy provides 100% browser based products from design to their deployment on company Intranets or Corporate web sites. The applications are built on the core sitehelpdesk product with additional web pages designed for enhanced functionality for their specific function. In this way a number of integrated helpdesk solutions may be used for HR, Facilities, IT and customer support processes across the organisations. Backend database links avoid duplication of set up and maintenance whilst maintaining separate security and report analysis. The web browser and company Intranet provides the single user interface for all corporate data including the helpdesk call logging, tracking and reporting.
Q1 Helpdesk System changes the way internal support functions work by empowering staff to help themselves with FAQ’s and the ability to log and track support requests from their browser. This ensures more calls are logged and reduces interruptions. Support operators are assisted with prioritised task assignment, automated escalation and knowledge base accessible from any workstation or their PDA. Graphical representations and flexible reporting of call statistics keep managers up to date in real time and from their browser.

Q1 Helpdesk System has been engineered to provide a serious application for the internal IT Service Management function incorporating the ITIL recommendations for Incident, Problem, Financial, Continuity, Configuration, Change and Release Management. Comprehensive records of inventory life cycles including loans and movements, 3rd party support logging, software license details, backup, archive and restore registers and more. The software has been designed to meet BS7799 Code of Practice for Information Security Management requirements for the maintenance of information assets and business continuity. Built in integration with network management tools provides drill down into detailed hardware and software configuration.
Some benefits Q1 Helpdesk System -

Improvements In efficiency of the helpdesk staff
- Staff interruptions
severely hamper progress of resolution of current problems or the ability to
finish longer – term projects. The facility for staff to log and track the progress of their own support requests reduces interruption.

Available anywhere and any time – Staff will not need to return to base to get their next support ticket.

Reducing the need for dedicated telephone support – End user self help and call logging reduces the need to have support team members manning telephones. Over time one should expect at least 50% of calls that are currently logged by telephone or email to be logged by staff/customers directly. Higher percentages are achievable.

Improvements in Resource Planning – Now that the helpdesk is 24 hours a day you will receive support requests at the times when staff or customers actually need help. Special reports are available to assist with the analysis of your resource requirements against workload so that you can better plan your shift working and breaks as well as the number of staff.

Simple and intuitive to use reducing non-productive time costs – Training will be provided by Q1 Consult Limited.
