Novatech is an award-winning Managed IT Services and Technology Solutions provider in Nashville, Tennessee. With over 25 years of experience, Novatech has been a frontrunner in the Managed Office industry specifically in the East, Central, and Mid-Atlantic US markets.
Project Summary
Novatech, a Managed IT Services and Technology Solutions leader in Nashville, Tennessee, partnered with STAFFVIRTUAL to strengthen its IT support, especially after regular business hours.
As this partnership progressed, Novatech’s needs evolved, requiring not only additional support but also the recruitment of top talent, development of targeted training, & improvement of their work processes. The goal was to ensure Novatech’s clients received continuous, high-quality IT support, seamlessly extending their internal capabilities.
The Challenge
Despite Novatech having a competent IT team and over two decades of industry leadership, the company faced several critical challenges as it sought to expand its services while adhering to its core principles of efficiency, simplicity, and innovation.
Expanding Service Capacity
The primary challenge for Novatech was to enhance its service offerings across various support levels (L1, L2, and L3) without compromising the high standards of customer support it was known for. This expansion was essential for maintaining competitive edge and client satisfaction.
Addressing Ticket Bottlenecks
An increasing volume of support tickets was leading to bottlenecks, adversely affecting response times and service quality. Novatech needed a strategy to manage these efficiently, ensuring that every client received timely and effective support.
After-Hours Support
With a growing global clientele, Novatech recognized the necessity for round-the-clock IT support to address client issues and requests outside of regular business hours, ensuring uninterrupted service.
Enhancing Performance Tracking
To sustain and improve service quality during this expansion, Novatech focused on establishing Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for support representatives and developing a custom dashboard for real-time performance tracking.
Driving Revenue and Client Acquisition
Beyond addressing operational challenges, Novatech aimed to increase its market share by attracting new clients and driving revenue growth, necessitating the formation of a dedicated team of Appointment Setters.
