Getting technical support in the Nashville system used to depend on who you knew which necessitated MNPS to add a call center with more support staff for handling parents inquiries.
MNPS was already using ServicePRO help desk software, and the software easily scaled up to cover the expanded support team.
I really like ServicePRO. I've had nothing but compliments on it. I think we've made a good choice.
Getting technical support in the Nashville system used to depend on who you knew. So MNPS decided to add more support staff, along with a call center to handle inquiries from parents. But that meant retraining everyone in the community to trust the new system.
MNPS was already using ServicePRO help desk software, and the software easily scaled up to cover the expanded support team. Today, MNPS has 172 ServicePRO . Technicians can prioritize issues to make best use of their time, while managers monitor their schools and see detailed reports. Best of all, everyone understands that their problems will get prompt, fair attention.
