Before you found HaloITSM, what problems were you facing?
- We needed one unified platform to get a big picture / unified view of our customers. We had separate platforms for CRM, Service Desk, Project Management, Development Management and Finance.
- To make the Customer Service Portal Experience seamless.
- Track SLAs and time management with very high precision.
"In total, we wrote down 62 requirements that we want to see from the MSP platform and Halo managed to fulfill all those requirements. Other MSP platforms managed to get only 19-33 requirements covered."
Which features and integrations have you been using and why?
- From Halo features we are using:
- CRM, Agreements, and Customer field – We have created an easy way for our IT-Business Consultants to understand what services our customers have and from what they could benefit.
- Service Desk and Projects – We have replaced our previous Service Desk platform, Project management platform, and Development platform with Halo.
- From the integrations we are using:
- Call center and SMS sending
- Our agent identification management through the Azure AD
- Calendar management through the Exchange calendar
- We are planning to invest more time in the Customer Self-Service Portal to make sure that customers can very easily see what services they have, and request service requests for them, and the backbone would be automatons that would be triggered through those services.
What’s your experience of working with the HaloPSA / Altacom team so far?
The on-boarding process was very fast, and they spent one week in our office to set up all the basics even now it’s so good that Halo Team (big thanks to Rhys De Gruchy) and Altacom are holding our hands after we have used their platform for 6 months.
What are some of the ways HaloPSA has helped you?
- We are getting a unified view of all our customers and all departments have a good way to work together because going from one process to another is seamless.
- SLAs have improved and we can very easily check if something has been breached.
