Opticom chose On-Premise software that instantly boosts support
After realizing that its customer support was being affected by its help desk, IT solutions provider OptiCom began the search for an On-Premise tool that could instantly improve its customer support.
The Challenge
OptiCom has provided large enterprises with IT solutions and expert advice for over 25 years across Latvia and the Baltics. Its mission is to offer the best IT solutions to ensure its customers receive the highest quality service.
However, the support team at OptiCom was struggling to provide the level of service it strived for and was being held back by its help desk. Arnis Morkans, Head of IT, began to search for a new solution.
“We were using HP Service Manager. It was unreliable and far too complicated to use, so we decided we wanted to change help desk software.”
The Solution
As an IT solutions company, OptiCom was keen to implement an On-Premise help desk, providing complete control over its data.
During the free trial, Arnis was able to test the capabilities of Deskpro to the full extent and set up the help desk in a live environment. After comparing it with a few other help desk options, it didn’t take long for Arnis to decide that Deskpro was going to fit its needs.

The stand-out features for Arnis were the flexibility of the Ticketing and the ability to integrate reports with other software. Implementation of the help desk was quick, and OptiCom's support team was ready to go within days.
The Benefits
OptiCom has found that Deskpro has increased its reliability allowing sole focus on improving the happiness of its customers. Support ticket handling has benefitted from the Agent productivity tools, such as snippets and collaboration.
In addition, Arnis and the customer support team utilize the Feedback tool within Deskpro to help track customer satisfaction and identify areas that need improvement.
“Using the Feedback tool has enabled us to find out what our customers are really thinking”
The flexibility of Deskpro has also allowed OptiCom to access and share all of its help desk reports with other business units in a central location, which has proved to be especially handy for high-level management meetings across different departments using Metabase to store metrics.
“We have been able to sync Deskpro reports with Metabase. Allowing other business units to access and digest the support data alongside other datasets.”
After moving away from a help desk solution that wasn’t performing well, Arnis was happy with the standard of support Deskpro offers to all customers.
“The support team at Deskpro has been helpful and answered all of our questions. It makes my job much easier.”
The Future
OptiCom has been using Deskpro since 2017 and has grown alongside the product. Arnis and the team are always looking at ways in which they can improve customer service options. So plan to take a deeper look at Live Chat as well as looking forward to implementing Voice within the help desk.
