What is Live Chat?

When MSP technicians are faced with multiple L1 tickets at the same time, it can be challenging to triage them due to time constraints. This can cause frustration for end-users, as it may lead to longer wait times and disrupt their work.

This is where a live chat feature comes in. It allows requesters to communicate directly with technicians through a chat interface, simplifying the process of obtaining information without consuming too much of the technicians' time.

Why is Live Chat important?

Live Chat enables quick and efficient resolution of issues, as well as providing a more personalized and interactive experience.

It enables technicians to handle multiple conversations simultaneously, improving the overall efficiency of the service desk. Overall, Live Chat is a valuable tool for MSPs to enhance their customer service and improve client satisfaction.
