Lets have a look in further detail…

Inflation and National Insurance Impact:

Inflation continues to exert pressure on operational budgets across the IT sector:

• Rising Costs: Businesses must navigate higher expenses, primarily driven by salary increases and additional charges from National Insurance.
• Resource Allocation: Companies may struggle to allocate budgets effectively, leading to potential cutbacks or compromises in service quality.
• Employee Retention: Increased financial pressures can make it harder to retain skilled IT personnel, affecting the overall quality of support offered.

These factors create a challenging landscape for companies seeking to maintain competitive IT support services while managing escalating costs.

Increased IT Support Costs:

The cost of providing IT technical support has surged, making traditional in-house solutions less viable.

• Internal Support Challenges: Organisations are finding it increasingly difficult to justify the expense of maintaining a full-time, 24×7 support team.
• Cost-Effective Alternatives: There is a growing need for businesses to explore outsourced solutions that can offer quality service at a lower price point.
• Service Quality Risks: As budget constraints tighten, there is a risk that service quality may decline, affecting customer satisfaction and operational efficiency.

This environment necessitates innovative approaches to IT support to ensure sustainability and service excellence.

phoenix47 Service Solution:

phoenix47 has developed a comprehensive service solution designed to meet the evolving needs of businesses facing escalating IT costs. The focus is on providing reliable, efficient, and economical support services that maintain high-quality standards.

phoenix47 offers a cost-effective solution for outsourced IT support that significantly reduces the financial burden on businesses. By outsourcing the IT support desk functions, companies can avoid the high costs associated with maintaining an internal team.

Cost-Effective Outsourced IT Support

The pricing structure is competitive, reflecting lower operational costs. Businesses can expect improved service quality without the heavy expenses typically linked to hiring, training, and retaining internal staff.

The financial advantages of engaging phoenix47’s 24×7 Bests Shore Technical Support Service are significant. Businesses can experience reduced costs while maintaining high-quality support and operational efficiency.

The pricing model of phoenix47 for IT support desks is structured to be more affordable than in-house solutions. Support desk services are available at a significantly reduced rate per ticket, which directly impacts the bottom line.

Benefits of Lower Pricing:

• Cost per ticket is notably lower compared to internal service provision. Our ticket price is £9.00, comparable to the national average entry level of £16,  a 44% saving.
• Allows businesses to predict and manage IT expenses more effectively.

Utilising these cost-effective measures provides businesses with the ability to invest savings back into their core operations.

Reduced Requirement for Internal Resourcing

By utilising phoenix47’s support services, businesses can significantly decrease the need for internal staffing. Traditional 24×7 internal support typically requires a larger team, leading to increased salaries, benefits, and overhead costs.

Outsourcing these functions allows companies to allocate resources more efficiently. There is no longer a requirement for multiple shifts or on-call staff, which can be both costly and challenging to manage.

Staffing fluctuations can severely affect the quality of service (QoS) when businesses rely on in-house support. Unplanned leave can disrupt operations and create delays in issue resolution.

By using phoenix47’s support service, this issue is mitigated. The seamless operation of the outsourced support team ensures consistent service delivery regardless of individual availability. Businesses experience enhanced reliability in their IT support, leading to improved user satisfaction.

Key Considerations:

• Elimination of recruitment and training costs for internal staff.
• Reduced expenses associated with ongoing operational support.
• Flexibility to scale support based on evolving demand without fixed costs.

Resolution Responsibility

With phoenix47 assuming the responsibility for technical resolutions, businesses can divert their focus towards their core objectives. This delegation eliminates the stress of maintaining an in-house support team, which often requires extensive training and ongoing management.

The efficient handling of issues by seasoned professionals leads to higher productivity levels. Clients can trust that their technical challenges are being addressed promptly and effectively, allowing their internal teams to operate with greater efficiency.

High First Time Fix Rates

phoenix47 boasts an industry-leading first-time fix rate of 83%. This statistic speaks volumes about the effectiveness of the support team in addressing issues swiftly and accurately. This alongside our Best Shore model means we can provide you with a 96% service rating.

Achieving this high rate means that most technical problems are resolved without the need for follow-ups, saving time and resources. Reduced ticket escalation not only enhances service quality but also fosters confidence in the support structure.
