IT SUPPORT TASKS
THE ACTIVITIES OF IT HELPDESK EXPERTS

IT support employees answer questions from customers and help solve hardware, software or network problems. Contact is usually made by telephone, alternatively by email, chat or remote maintenance. An issue tracking system manages customer enquiries at a central location. Typically, an IT helpdesk is divided into three levels, each level corresponding to a group of specially trained specialists:

Initial contact with customers is made via the first level. Basic IT knowledge is required here, but often no specialisation. If employees at the first level helpdesk are unable to solve the problem, the ticket is forwarded to the second level to a specially trained employee. If the problem cannot be solved any further, a specialist from the third level takes over.
