We are in the process of doing analysis needed to implement Remedy Help
Desk (we do not yet have Remedy in production). Our IS department's
current procedure is to have a help desk person call the customer when
their problem is resolved (all contact with the customer is required to go
through a help desk person).

With Remedy Help Desk, the capability exists out of the box for e-mail
notifications to be sent to the customer when the problem is WIP, resolved
and pending (which I personally think is a great feature). There has been
some concerns raised in doing this and I have been asked to find out how
other companies are using this feature.

- What type of information do you include in the notification that is sent
to the customer?
- What benefits have you realized by implementing this feature?

Any information you can provide will be greatly appreciated!!!

Beverly,

We have had HD for about a year now and this is what happened with our
notifications. The support staff thought that there was too many emails for
New,WIP, Resolved and Pending; most of them created a rule to move emails to
the deleted folder. This is what we have changed our notification process
to.

New calls
User gets emailed ticket # and CTI along with description.
Support Staff get notified only if the call is High or Urgent.

Reassignments
Support Staff gets notification of call transfers to their queue

Pending
No Pending notifications

Resolved
User get notification of resolved case.

Granted there are some "issues" in our organization that affect this
process.

Good Luck

I would recommend adding the summary, priority, case
id and status information to a notification to the
customer along with standard text asking the customer
to call the help desk and reference the case id if
they need further assitance or information...
