Overview: Helpdesks provide central information sources which can route problem requests, provide detailed information, and answer questions quickly and accurately. Cost/benefit analysis indicate that reducing the time required to route incoming problem requests and resolving problems can greatly reduce a company's costs and improve productivity. Helpdesk software can capture the knowledge of technicians while using multimedia to provide on-demand expertise for operators. This technology incorporates multimedia and hypermedia, video, animation, voice, and intuitive interfaces, while using AI techniques for problem resolution. Expert systems simplify Helpdesks production by providing flexible knowledge capturing capabilities and allowing the building of knowledge-bases on the fly.
