SPHomeRun.com

Especially with

the Public Nature

of Twitter and

Facebook,



SPHomeRun.com

Really the Right

Approach for All,

or at Least Most,

Technology

Integrators?



SPHomeRun.com

Social Media

as Part of the

Multi-Channel Mix



SPHomeRun.com

Desk.com,

Believes Strongly

that Integrators,

Like Most

Businesses,



SPHomeRun.com

Must Embrace

Twitter and

Facebook Support

as One of its

Channels

The Question was

Asked by an

IT Manager at a

Major Saudi

Arabian University



SPHomeRun.com

Balancing the

Popularity of

Facebook and

Twitter with

Help Desk Needs



SPHomeRun.com

In a Nutshell,

Shahid Warsi

Wondered:



SPHomeRun.com

1. If it’s a Good

Idea to Offer

IT Support Over

Facebook and

Twitter



SPHomeRun.com

as Part of a

Help Desk



SPHomeRun.com

2. If the Response

Should Go Back

Out Over the

Same Originating

Social Media



SPHomeRun.com

There’s No

Denying that for a

Tech-savvy

Audience,



SPHomeRun.com

Especially

College Students,

Faculty, and Staff,

Social Media is

Incredibly Popular



SPHomeRun.com

Looking at

Students, Faculty,

and Staff as

Internal Customers



SPHomeRun.com

and Prospective

Internal

Customers



SPHomeRun.com

Because Neither

Twitter nor

Facebook

Mandate Private,



SPHomeRun.com

One-on-one

Contact,



SPHomeRun.com

And Most People

Tend to Use these

Social Media Tools

very Publicly,



SPHomeRun.com

More Traditional

Help Desk SaaS

Offerings May Be

a Better Fit



SPHomeRun.com

to Assure

Confidentiality



SPHomeRun.com

Most Popular

SaaS-based Help

Desk Systems,

Like Desk.com

and Zendesk,



SPHomeRun.com

Make it Very Easy

to Convert Social

Media-originated

Requests into

Support Tickets



SPHomeRun.com

If Your

IT Department’s

Help Desk



SPHomeRun.com

Has its Own

Twitter Profile and

Facebook Page

for Students,



SPHomeRun.com

You can Use

These Channels

to Distribute Tips

and Breaking

News,
