iiS Help Desk Business Benefits seminar a complete success
At iiS’s recent London seminar, discussions focussed on the main Help Desk issues and the benefits which can be brought to facilities management when the latest solutions are deployed. The benefits discussed derive from cost savings and automation: saving time and money.

Keynote speaker Philip Russell, Managing Director of Mapeley, reviewed both the traditional and modern approaches to help desk and service management in his speech “From Cost Centre to Profit Centre - The Power of the Helpdesk”. Phillip also presented and overview of Mapeley Ltd, and how the modern approach to help desk had enabled the savings of millions of pounds managing the estates of the Inland Revenue and Customs & Excise.

Discussing how the use of the right Help Desk has considerably helped the company in maintaining its 1900 properties with over 90,000 staff, Phillip covered such issues as the empowering of staff to make decisions, including financial ones, and the importance of streamlined performance measurement. Phillip also indicated that, in his experience, services such as FM have a higher profile in the USA when compared to the UK, but that the tendency is for the perceived value of UK services to be increasing.

The iiS FM consultancy team then demonstrated how a help desk can greatly improve responsiveness, shorten communication trails through automatic email updates, and generally cut costs through automation. BIFM I.T. Steering Group member Mike Dowling presented mobile asset data gathering, including a case history of a project at the Royal Courts of Justice. Mobile computers, especially hand-helds, can speed up accurate data acquisition enormously. Mike explained how many help desk initiatives falter because of inaccurate or missing space and asset data. It seems that mobile operations are bound to become a big part of FM, as staff members can contribute accurate information at any time, not just when they are sitting at their desks.

iiS would like to thank everyone who attended and for their positive feedback.
