Look beyond ticket volume
Ask whether the same problems recur, whether devices are consistently configured, and whether critical systems have clear owners. A quiet help desk can still hide lifecycle and recovery risks.
IT OPERATIONS
When your business has outgrown reactive IT
Recurring interruptions, inconsistent onboarding, and undocumented systems are signs that support needs a more deliberate structure.
PRACTICAL GUIDE
What to consider.
Define the operating model
Choose what an internal team owns and what a provider manages. Document support hours, escalation routes, patching responsibilities, and vendor coordination.
Make the engagement measurable
Review recurring issues, completion of planned improvements, asset lifecycle, and the results of recovery tests. Agree on reporting that helps leadership decide what to do next.
