Service Desk Systems

If you don’t measure it, you can’t improve it. Find out how.

Lights-On has proven that The Legal IT industry trails behind other industries in the formal management and provision of service desks despite the internal customers in that sector being full of time billing people who’s demanding clients force demanding support requirements for the lawyers and support staff alike.

Often, the investment in a service desk system is retrospective once the firm has outgrown is existing manual, spreadsheet or internally developed “helpdesk system” and often it is the first budget item to be cut if finances are to be slimmed.

Lights-On has experience of designing, improving and establishing service desks and in recovering or improving service levels. We also have considerable experience in service desk systems and in service management (as consultant or interim).

We have recovered the service levels for many desks and embedded appropriately light ITIL processes to build a world class support functions, driving up key metrics such as calls handled per operator and first contact resolution and reduced those of time to answer and abandonment rate. All of these were done with the key objectives of driving up customer satisfaction and efficiency. We have done this for small law firm and global consultancies outside of legal and helped organisations obtain and keep ISO-IEC 20000 accreditation.

We take pride in our ethos of independence, depth of knowledge and ethics

Confidentiality

Consulting is a confidential business and the sectors in which we operate demand even greater levels of confidentiality. We take it very seriously and practice what we preach.

Experience

Experience is as much about learning from mistakes as it is from doing things right first time from planning and consideration.

Independence

That ethos of “if it feels wrong, even if others don’t think it is, then avoid it” remains a strong principle for Lights-On today.

Integrity

Integrity is at the heart of what we do. We are not a regulated industry like the legal sector in which we often operate however we treat work as if we were regulated.

Knowledge

Most of Lights-On’s consultants come from a wide background of IT and management covering sectors as wide as banking, the energy sector, manufacturing and consultancy.
