IT support provides technical support and assistance to customers and end-users. A dedicated team of IT professionals provides it, and it is usually accessed via a help desk.

As you can imagine, there are multiple benefits of providing IT support:

  • A central place for risers to go for IT help.
  • A dedicated team to ensure faults (including complex issues) can be resolved quickly and effectively.
  • Disaster Recovery can be supported.
  • Software can be deployed in a controlled and safe way.
  • Monitoring and more proactive support.

Typically, there are five IT support levels or tiers, each with its own complexity and skills.
