Essential Business Drivers to Monitor, Measure and Baseline your IT Services?
- What value are you getting for your investment in IT services?
- Did you improve performance and user experience, or did it deteriorate?
- Is the quality of the IT service enhancing or hindering your business and employee productivity, motivation and morale?
- Can you afford to reduce costs even further without impacting quality?
- Where has the bottleneck moved to on your corporate IT infrastructure now with increased remote workers?
What service levels and call quality has your enterprise been supporting over the past month, is it degenerating or improving and how is it overall impacting the length of time and experience your customers spend interacting with your company. Overall voice quality and video quality can be an indicator of productivity. If you see a reduction in enterprise voice quality from month to month, you can predict enterprise operationalization efficiency and loss of business revenue.
Impact on User Experience of Service Quality Metrics
In summary these comprise:
- Is the service available?
- When I seek to join a conference, does your call attempt succeed?
- How long does it take to join the conference call?
- When the conference begins can we all hear and see each other clearly?
- If you want to implement a feature like transfer the call or invite some other participant, does the feature work?
