EasyVista Service Manager vs. iSupport

It is well suited for a service-based department, but it can sometimes offer confusion for non-technical users because of the amount information the form fields require. Most customers don't want to write the equivalent of a book to simply say that " I want to obtain a license of Adobe Acrobat and charge it to the department."

Tech tickets and engineering support. The best thing about iSupport is the ability to make custom views and filters. For instance, I have my view set up so I can see when the case was opened, the priority, product, and the customer. I also set it up so if any case has not been updated for 5 days it will turn red notifying me that I need to update the customer.

• Documentation is very important for any technology department. We can easy attach quotes, screenshots of issues, or invoices so that any one looking at the work order once closed can see that the task was completed quickly or may require more resources if needed again.
• Tracking the progress of your team is also important when considering pay scales or promotions. Reports help you see which employees are going above and beyond and those that are needing extra motivation.
• Universities have to work as cohesive unit to be successive. Our customers tell is us what is needed for them to do their jobs and we are able to divide the work amongst our staff to continue the quest quickly.

• Although it's great to have everything in one place, it can be a little hard to read sometimes in terms of the amount of tickets and being able to decipher between multiple [issues]. Color coordination might be able to help with this for example.

• Saves time and positive ROI as we don't take the time anymore to hold meetings to discuss all incidents. As a software tool, it is amazingly customizable and gives us tons of control over what each department, support representative, or user can see. This is important for us because we have currently 2 separate support departments using iSupport as well as confidential and personal information that goes through the system.
