How Does YOUR Service Desk Stack Up? 

Maximizing First Level Resolution:

The Key to Minimizing End User TCO

Introduction

First Level Resolution (FLR) is a critical cost metric that every service desk should track and trend.  In fact, FLR is the key to minimizing the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for end-user support.  Few organizations understand the concept of defects when it comes to tickets that are needlessly escalated beyond Level 1.  Fewer still understand the huge costs associated with these defects.  MetricNet’s research and benchmarking experience, however, shows that the cost of escalation defects – tickets that should have been resolved at Level 1, but were not – sometimes approaches, or even exceeds the entire operating cost of the Level 1 service desk!
