[TLBAT] User’s home page

ASP, Active Server Pages, self-service, IT support, Intranet portal

In a previous company I had a project that aimed at improving the relationship between IT and the rest of the world (the Users!) because at the moment when I started the project most of the employees thought that IT was spending too much with no visible benefit for the company.

The project was a complex one but at the end of it the satisfaction level grew up from ~60% to more than 85%!

A lot of actions were made at that moment, such as:

  • Implementing costs visibility (and subsequent costs lowering) for telecommunications
  • Better management of company’s software licenses
  • Self service intranet pages and tools
  • Many other stuff

In the next posts I’ll cover the idea and the design of a self service portal that you can build at no costs and that will give the users a feeling of “personalized solutions” and on the other hand will lower the calls load on your helpdesk.

Stay tuned and see how to pump up your environment!

I tried to set up user pages at my last job but had difficulty working it in to my other duties. I look forward to your tutorial!
