You run an IT Helpdesk that provides help over the phone. When someone calls in, most
of the questions fall into similar categories such as password resets, hardware issues, or
email problems.
It is not cost-effective for you to staff agents to handle these basic calls that could be
solved with self-service. You’d prefer your agents to handle the more complicated
questions.
