Some Stats

Between March 12 and April 12, we took 5,514 calls lasting 1,149 hours. Our work load (based on hours in calls) peaked at 3.1 times normal over Spring Break, and was about 2.4 times normal last week. We are trending back downward, but I suspect average call length will continue to be longer than before as we deal with additional complexity.

Meanwhile, our customer satisfaction rating (based on surveys) over that same time period has been 97.5%, higher than normal; 85% of customers rated our service “Excellent”. A few examples of what customers have said:

Andre Farque was SUPER helpful. He walked me thru the process of navigating OSU emails, portals, etc — in a kind and skillful way. He probed gently to find the source of problems — and then helped me to fix them. A+++

Paul Schreiner helped me with this issue. He was terrific! It was an uncommon problem, one that he had not seen before. He did not let up but reached out to his co-workers and after much determination and diligence, he contacted me back and took care of the problem. Paul is very patient, kind, professional and knowledgeable, and I greatly appreciated his help! Thank you Paul!

Peter did a great job. The simple task I needed done proved not so simple – common in the IT/device world. Peter hung in there and youtubed what to do on a device he is not naturally familiar with. He was able to relay the youtube info to me perfectly. It is hard to balance an uneducated customer (me), someone talking to him on the side (youtube), and the device itself (S10) all at once. In conclusion, Peter admitted he did not know the answer immediately but he was committed to figuring it out and not leaving our conversation until the task had been completed. Well done.
