Success Story: Help Desk Services for Nationwide Voice and Data Company

A top voice and data company required support for their help desk during after-hours and on the weekend.

A strategic goal of the company was to improve its customer service level by offering 24/7 live call answering service. During regular business hours, the call handling was managed in-house by the client's team.

Each step of the process was documented and refined in coordination between Unicom’s leadership and key stakeholders of the voice and data company.

Our agents were trained to provide tier one support and were tasked to report incidents, manage tickets in the company’s custom ticketing system, and escalate issues according to established protocols.

We are proud to be their partner in supporting their help desk services.
