Your users come first

Our service desk revolves around the people who use it – your employees. By providing quick, effective solutions and focusing on experience level agreements (XLAs), we ensure minimal downtime and maximum user satisfaction.

 

Uninterrupted 24/7/365 support

With CGI, your operations remain uninterrupted. We understand that your teams need reliable assistance around the clock, whether they’re working in different time zones or outside regular business hours. Our global support network ensures that your employees receive the help they need - whenever they need it.

Exceptional user experience

Our INTERACT methodology ensures your service desk solutions are designed to not just resolve IT issues, but deliver positive impact to users. We fix 95% of issues on the first contact and use a simple end user feedback approach to continually improve service quality based upon real user insights.

Omni-channel options

Multiple contact channels means your employees spend less time seeking IT support and more time delivering value for your organisation. Reach us via phone, email, live chat, or self-service – whichever is most convenient. Our streamlined self-service portal allows users to resolve common issues independently, empowering them to solve their problem instantly.
