Boss Assist

Every organization strives to provide the best support for its employees and customers. Employees who are empowered to produce more by having the right tools can secure a company's future growth. By the same token, satisfied customers continue and increase their business, also adding to a company's success.

So how do you provide your employees and customers with the support they need in a timely and accurate fashion? BOSSAssist, the new help desk tool from BOSS, can be used to support both internal and external users. BOSSAssist makes it easy for users to enter their tickets through an intuitive Web portal, and makes it equally easy for technicians to track, respond to, and resolve tickets on a central Windows console.

BOSSAssist easily extends itself as an enterprise workflow management system. In addition to tracking all IT-related issues, BOSSAssist can be used to automate any of your workflow management requirements. With the help of the flexible, customizable, end-to-end, built-in business rules engine, any complex business process can be automated.

BOSSAssist provides answers for some of perennial help desk problems faced by help desk managers. Timesheet tracking helps them optimize their efforts and utilize resources better resulting in overall process improvement. The ability to track purchase information related to a help desk ticket makes it easier for the accounting department to reconcile accounts. It also helps in budget control and planning.

Whether it is claim processing, vendor relationships, customer relationships, accounting relationships or any other workflow needs, the answer is BOSSAssist.

BOSSAssist installs quickly and offers a great return on investment.

Powerful Technician Interface Powerful Technician Interface
Help desk technicians receive the tickets on the DiagWin console (a familiar Microsoft® Outlook®-oriented interface) routed through the rules engine. In most cases, technicians can resolve tickets without leaving their desks or making phone calls by using remote management features. The ability to reassign tickets and change severity helps to better manage critical tickets. For each ticket, help desk staff can view the user inventory, send a message, deploy a package, or even control user systems remotely. This ensures quicker ticket resolution, satisfied internal customers, and improved productivity across the organization.
Intelligent Rules Engine and Notification Intelligent Rules Engine and Notification
The BOSSAssist rules engine automatically routes user tickets to appropriate technicians depending on user location, department, type of support issue, severity, or any other customer defined category. This enables the organization to build an efficient support workflow and streamline operations. The system sends e-mail notifications to a specific help desk technician or to the help desk group. The help desk administrator controls how and when notifications are sent and also decides on how automatic e-mails are worded.

The simple, intuitive Web interface makes it easy for end users to raise support requests. Users are authenticated through Active Directory, ensuring complete security of the system. Attachments such as screen captures or documents in any standard format can be attached for further explanation of the ticket. E-mail notifications are sent to users on ticket submission. The feedback page solicits user's opinions allowing quality control of help desk service. A customizable knowledgeable and FAQ helps users and technicians to find solutions quickly, shortening the response time and reducing the number of help desk related calls about trivial issues.
