“Every IT support organization aspires to perform at a high level. Unfortunately, many desktop support professionals are unfamiliar with the key performance indicators (KPIs) that are important to track and trend, and even fewer are aware of what constitutes acceptable, let alone world-class performance.” said Rumburg.  “The research we presented not only enhances the community of desktop support professionals, but continues to change the way desktop support is viewed and managed.”
