Brief
To improve the service delivery provided throughout the incident lifecycle including changes to enhance the service, and promptness, of the customer service desk. This service had to be a central solution that could be delivered across all 7 client sites, of which locations included UK, Scandinavia, and Ireland. The IS estate across the region consists of over 2000 PCs, 90 servers, and 100 individual user applications. ITIL methodology was to be adopted and adapted to meet these requirements to ensure best practices are followed.
Solution
Intrasource working closely with RB put together a solution to the clients brief. This addressed the need for an improved customer support function providing consistent service delivery across the region, whilst ensuring that RB’s excellent standards were maintained.
The solution included a ‘Service Manager’ and ‘Team Leader’ to manage the day to day onsite service support & personnel. An additional 15 support analyst’s currently undertake 1st and 2nd line on site support technical roles within the Reckitt Benckisers IS section, working closely together to consistently deliver a high standard of service to all customers across the region.
Benefits

- We now have the ability to draw on additional resources from Intrasource as and when the need arises to meet our IS business requirements.
