Service Desk Roadmap v4

The document outlines a roadmap for implementing a single service desk at CERN to handle requests for IT and general services (GS). It will initially operate from 7:30-18:30 on weekdays, expanding to 24/7 coverage in the second quarter of 2011. Key aspects include consolidating existing support functions into the new service desk, establishing roles and processes, selecting a location and service management tool, and transition planning to integrate current systems and train agents over the fall/winter in preparation for the February 2011 go-live.

Service'Desk'Roadmap'1'DRAFT'

Implementation'of'a'Service'Desk'for'IT'and'GS'

Scope'

One of the deliverables of the service management best practice effort is an


operating service desk

for GS and IT. This document describes the architecture, the roles and
responsibilities, and a

roadmap for the implementation of a single service desk for CERN.

Annex 1 specifies the mandate of the service desk.

1st line support (the service desk) will have 3 ways to receive requests from
users

Voice: Telephone

Electronic: Web based form or email

Physical (Eye to eye): Service Counter

Main requirements for the service desk are:

One$phone number and email covering the scope of IT and GS provided services
(initially)

No$robot (voice asking type 1 for an IT problem) 1

24/7$Coverage, although this doesnt mean there is support 24/7, someone


speaking at least English and French will answer the phone and be able to register
the request/problem, and initiate the process. The moment someone starts working
on the problem is determined by service level definitions defined for each service
independently.$

One$location$(close$to$the$entrance) for obvious reasons of

efficiency, it seems best to consolidate 1st line support in one location and one
homogeneous group of people. Local specialized service counters where people can go
to obtain specific services continue to exist (e.g. Library, Registration in building 55,
Hostel reception etc..). Front office (service counter where people can go) and back
office (taking calls, solving quick cases, completing and dispatching tickets, follow up
on tickets) should be a single group of people for reasons of flexibility and efficiency.

'

Architecture'and'roles'overview'

The picture above shows a

possible architecture. The

following roles can be

identified:

SDM: (job description

in annex 3) An

operational role,

continuously

monitoring service

desk operation,

following up on tickets

that need attention

(exceeding service level thresholds). The SDM will monitoring service delivery,
insure news

and alerts are provided whenever there is a service interruption. The SDM will also
play an

important role in the continuous improvement processes.

SMoD: (job description in annex 2) a face that is available during working hours
to assist

and help users in particular situations, or to arbitrate and help resolve complex
problems.

The SMoD will not have any operational responsibility (will not answer the generic
helpline, will not enter tickets, etc..).
1St line support will normally not have deep knowledge of any of the service areas (know
a lot about little), but have a wide scope (know a little about a lot). They are a priori not
specialized or trained in a particular area. They will be good communicators in multiple
languages, master the service desk tools, be responsible and friendly.

2nd line support has deep knowledge of specific domains. For certain services 2 nd line
support is outsourced.

We recommend to cover 1st and 2nd line support (where applicable) in the same
contract (the one that currently covers these areas for IT), which eliminates an
interface and reduces the risk of ping pong and finger pointing.

Service'Desk'Roadmap'

'

Roadmap'

The service desk will in first instance cover IT and GS. In second instance it should
support HR and FP

services and maybe some services provided by PH. In subsequent phases it could
be expanded to

finally cover all services available at CERN.

It was decided to start with 7:3018:30 1st line support during working days, and
introduce 24/7 in the 2nd quarter of 2011.

Below a rough roadmap for the 1st phase, details will be addressed in more detail

Transition)

Annex 4 described the current situation of user facing services within our scope,
including

opportunities for synergies.

In order to prepare for the go live training to the agents will be provided on CERN, on the
tool, and on the processes (roughly from 15th of November until 1st of December), on the
services that are in and outside scope, and get to know the second line support groups.
Prior to go`live the support agents will also have the possibility to test and improve the
system, help to provide knowledge, and do dry runs. Certain groups in IT have offered to
do parallel runs (use both the old and new systems in parallel). These activities will take
place during December and January.

The following current functions should in our opinion be associated to the introduction
of a central

service desk early 2011. Other opportunities for streamlining and consolidation will be
addressed in

a later stage, this to reduce friction and facilitate a smooth transition.

Phase 1 (Feb 2011): create on single point of contact during working hours.

SEM support (77777). The 1st line activity should be integrated in the service desk.
The existing resources allocated to 1st line, will be concentrating on specialised 2nd
line facilities management support and improvement of the SEM service quality.

IT helpdesk (78888). The 1st line IT support will be integrated in the new service desk. The
existing resources allocated to 1st line, will be concentrating on specialised 2nd line IT
support and improvement of the IT service quality.

Labo Telecom (76111). For incidents and requests within their scope, the service`
management tool must be used. Furthermore the telephone operators should be
service

desk aware (be able to instantly transfer callers to the service desk when
appropriate, or take on the 1st line support role entirely). Further integration between
this service and the

service desk is something to be evaluated in future.

Outside working hours when someone calls 77777 or 78888 he will be guided by a
question/answer dialogue to the right service for urgent calls only (see diagram
below).

Phase 2 (2nd Quarter 2011)


24/7 support will be introduced once we get a feeling for the associated workload
from the statistics

gathered on missed calls to 77777 and 78888 outside working hours. The
workload should be
distributed based on available capacity and skills.
The tasks include registration, classification and initial support whenever appropriate
and feasible.
The Fire Brigade have agreed to take over some 1st level support tasks outside service
desk contract hours in order to fulfil the 24/7 requirement. They do speak both French
and English.

Hostel reception (74481). The hostel reception can step in outside the opening hours
of the service desk, or in exceptional situations. They do speak both French and
English.

Computer Centre Operators (75011) already take urgent IT support calls during the
night (via 78888). Their English language skills are not considered sufficient to take
general service desk calls outside working hours.

Service'Desk'Roadmap'
Page'4'

Call)routing)

The diagram below shows how calls are routed on startup depending on time of day,
and number

called. Later we would like to move to a simpler scheme, where all requests are
registered and

classified whatever the time or number called.

Switchboard is treated special as we dont expect them to use the service


management tool to fulfill

the request to connect a caller to a person. The labo telecom part however
could be treated

directly by the service desk.

Other groups that expose a first line support telephone number, might consider
the benefits from

using the central

service desk for


Call processing at startup

telephone contacts.

Resources)(#)of)people))

Based on the volume of tickets handled by the current IT service desk, and other
service desks

(77777), based on the number of people assigned to 1 st line support in these service
desks, we

estimate that 6$people will be necessary to man the service desk during working

days from 7:30 to 18:30. This number is considered the

Capabilities)(knowledge))

Annex 1 describes the tasks and qualifications of the service desk. Grosso modo, we require a
service oriented attitude, and excellent communication skills including
high$level$of$proficiency$in$English$ and$French,$plus$a$3rd$language. Other
knowledge will be teached on the spot.

Annex 2 and 3 describe the other roles in the service desk area.

Coverage)(time)planning))

Based on the current coverage in IT and GS, we plan to have the service desk manned from
7:30$to$ 18:30$during$working$days. Beyond these hours other services will take over
reception and initial classification of requests (phone, web, email). Classification is necessary
to enabling correct dispatching. Outside Service Desk Contract working hours there is no 1 st
line resolution.

Below a possible scenario where green reflects the primary location a call will be
routed. These

schemes need to be discussed with the people concerned when we know a bit more
about the

workload and the available tools. The possible role of the IT operators should also be
clarified.

Training)

Once the tools are in place, and the service catalogue information is of sufficient quality, it
is planned to conduct training for the 1st line support team. Specialized training covering
communication skills, call coaching, and team building targeted at service desks, is
readily available from various providers. (e.g. www.sdi`e.com). Training on the CERN
organization and services supported will also be necessary. Service desk agents will also
be enriching the knowledge base, and the quality of the information in the service
catalog, the month of January can be used to perform a quality review of the service
descriptions, and the start of building a knowledge base.

The plan looks as follows:

Where'

Sizing)and)location)

Ideally it would be desirable to locate all 1st line user facing services (including the
cards service, film badge service, users office, etc..) in one location; the most logical
location would be the reception area around building 33.

Planning to consolidate all services in building 33 would imply significant changes


involving HR and

PH departments. Without compromising on the vision to converge to one location


in future, an

intermediate was found by locating visitor services around in building 33, and
services for users with

some form of contractual relationship with CERN to the building 55 area.

Needs for the Service Desk and Service Counter:

1.
Service manager office (ca. 12m2), this person being staff can not share the office
with the

service desk personnel.

2.

Service desk personnel (6 workspaces of minimal 9m2 each: 54 m2).

3.
Front office counter and reception area (minimum 15 m2; people need to be able to
queue

maybe some minimal seating space).

4.
Service Manager on Duty with reception area (minimal 15m2).

We have considered many scenarios

involving building 55 and building 120 with

the people concerned. This resulted in the

conclusion that the second floor of


SMOD/

Service desk public

building 55 is the only suitable location


Ambasador

area

Service desk

that can be made available in a timeframe


manager

compatible with the project plan (by

November 2010).

There are several issues with this scenario:

1.
There is no presence at the entry

Service desk front office

of building 55 to guide people to

the right place; people have to

find the 2nd floor service desk.

Maybe this can be overcome by

clear sign posts.

2.
There is no elevator in building 55,

so it is inaccessible for people with

Service desk back office

mobility problems. There is no

simple solution to this problem

(and the same applies to the

registration service).

As this is a temporary solution, well have to live with it.

Service'Desk'Roadmap'

Page'8'

Technical'requirements'and'tools'

A service management tool will be purchased, installed and integrated with existing request
fulfilment systems (EDH, InforEAM, Service Catalogue, etc..). This is a project in itself which is
ongoing.

The tool will integrate to the telephone exchange and the CERN corporate databases to
optimize

efficiency of the service desk. Call centre facilities provided by the current telephone
infrastructure

will be used to support the service desk. Contacts with the IT/CS team have been
established, and

feasibility confirmed. A flowchart below shows the behaviour from a user perspective.

Annex'2'Service'Manager'on'Duty'(SMoD)'job'description'

Duties'&'Responsibilities'

The SMoD is involved in Service Management procedures on a day`to`day


basis without direct participation in daily operational activities.
With excellent and deep knowledge of CERN, its procedures, processes and
culture the SMoD maintains vital relations with people on all levels of the
organization and is able to find creative solutions to complex and new issues.

The SMoDs main role is to represent the operational Service Management


organization towards users and customers and to act as a central contact
person for exceptional needs.

particular or more complex issues, to receive complaints or to coordinate the
resolution of specific requests in close collaboration with Service Desk staff.
Responsibilities do not include operational tasks such as registering tickets,
answering the phone or monitoring Service Desk operation.

A second core element of the SMoD role is active participation in escalation


procedures when necessary. Here the SMoD acts as an arbitrator and coordinator
between unsatisfied users, Service Desk staff and 2nd or 3rd Line experts.

The SMoD does not inherit any responsibilities from Service Owners or Service
Managers. Although the SMoDs main goal is the improvement of customers
and users satisfaction, he/she is responsible neither for the quality of the services
nor for the quality of the described processes.

The SMoD reports to the Service Managers team.

Tasks'

The following tasks are assigned to the role of a Service Manager on Duty:'

Direct contact & communication with users and customers$

Support and guidance for users and customers$

Coordination and solution of specific and escalated Incidents and Requests$

Communication with all roles involved in Service Management processes to


improve daily operation procedures as well as customers satisfaction$

Current)areas)where)customer)service)desk)like)functions)are)currently)p
resent)

Within IT and GS there are several units that provide customer facing support (or 1 st line
support). These units have either a physical desk or service counter where users can
address themselves with request or problems, and/or they have resources dedicated to
1st line support activities. For the sake of simplicity we have excluded services that
have highly specialized (assimilated to 2nd line) support activities (like shipping service,
or medical service) which can for practical reasons not be combined with a central
service desk.

The following table shows some of these existing services indicating the types of
synergies. (certain

services could benefit from a newly created service desk to provide a partial service
outside

dedicated support hours e.g. recover a key outside opening hours of keys service;
other services could provide 1st line support outside during nights and weekends, like
computer centre operators, hostel service and fire brigade).

IT)

IT has a number of areas where dedicated resources provide user facing 1 st line
support services

Computer Centre Operators

A service contract covering 24 hours per day, ca 5 people with one present at any
time.

Telephone exchange operators

A service contract covering extended working hours, with 5 or 6 people; several present
at any time. This contract also covers 2nd line support for portable phones and sim cards
(labo telecom).

IT Help Desk

Service contract covering extended working hours, several people (~4) present at any
time, total number of people unknown as the contract covers also 2 nd line support
functions.

IT has also a number of areas where users contact directly the specialists, or have
local help

desks in place. Some of these satellite first line support services dont use the
current

central system, which makes it very complicated to evaluate the resources that IT allocates
to first line support activities. It is estimated that IT 1st line support manages 60k tickets per
year.

GS)

GS has a lot of user facing services. This list is not exhaustive as many services have
no dedicated

resources to providing this support, so a priori no need to transfer or sharing of tasks


even a terme

to a central service desk. Highly specialized service desk activities are also
excluded for the same

reason.

Fire Brigade

theft and incident declarations; and can possibly perform 1st line activities outside
working hours. ca 50 CERN Staff.
