Stephen Shepheard
Head of Service Desks
Many IT companies talk about being customer-oriented and about delivering exceptional customer service. But few put in place the rigorous systems, processes, analytics and structures required for people to genuinely make a difference. Brennan’s Service Desk offer is purpose-built to ensure the speedy resolution of issues and emergencies with the minimum of stress for our customers. In the end, nothing beats having a customer-dedicated expert owning your issue from start to finish.”
The Brennan support experience
Every aspect of our customer support experience is designed around you.
Dedicated experts allocated to your business
The Brennan support experience begins with certified IT experts answering your call, not telephonists. What’s more, every one of our experts is allocated a specific set of customers – so the person who’s responding to your issue will know your company and IT environment.
‘Extreme Ownership’ Philosophy
When a Brennan team member takes on your issue, it’s theirs. From first-contact to final resolution. No hand-offs, no passing the buck. For us, anything less than ‘extreme ownership’ of our customers’ problems is a problem in itself.
Fast and Responsive
When there’s a problem, speed is of the essence. With Brennan, over 80% of customer calls are answered within 60 seconds and we aim to resolve 100% of common issues on the first call. Our average Resolution SLA of 91% is testament to our commitment to making things happen for our customers.
Self-Service Portal
The Brennan Self Service Portal provides customers with instant access to important services and information about their IT ecosystem:
- Log support tickets
- Track progress to resolution
- Get real-time data and updates across the breadth of services we manage
- Check for risk-register updates
Major Incident Fast-Response Team
While day-to-day Brennan service is fast and efficient, Brennan’s Major Incident team stands ready with a proven ‘emergency response’ approach to major system outages or attacks. Thanks to deep investment in our service management processes, our Major Incident Management teams are as competent as they are dedicated.
Ongoing Innovation and AI Automation
Most customer service and support is reactive. At Brennan, it’s also proactive. Amongst other future facing activities we are:
- Strategically mapping emerging technologies to stay ahead of onboarding challenges and potential user complexity.
- Deploying AI and automation to smooth customer experiences.
- Responding to real-time sentiment analysis to power continuous improvement.
Solved using hearts and minds
We know technical issues have a human impact. And while we’re uncompromising on getting to the heart of every issue, we’re all heart in how we tackle, solve and resolve them.
Which is why our team of friendly Service Desk Agents are not only screened and selected on their technical know-how, we give equal weighting to soft skills like empathy and sensitivity.
Faster fixes. Fewer repeats.
Few things are more frustrating than having to explain complaints on repeat. Which is why finding a fix on the first call is one metric that matters to us.
It’s why we invest in continual Agent training – in formal certifications, in familiarity with your environment, and in strong Knowledge Management best practice – all geared for first contact resolution.
Get in touch. Tell us what you need help with, and we’ll send the right expert your way.
