Most MSPs find themselves in a texting dilemma!
This occurs in several MSP practices because customers prefer to text their technicians rather than pick up the phone or even send an email. Consequently, what often occurs is this:
- There is little-to-no accountability. The technician receives the text, but there is no audit trail or accountability to ensure the request is followed up or completed.
- The technician might be on vacation, receiving a text but unable (or more unlikely) to respond.
- It’s hard to track prior conversations and history from a text.
- You can’t re-assign the ticket when it’s on one technician’s phone.
So, what is your Service Desk to do?
