SdO Introduction

As a backgrounder for SdO please see the section below labelled: "Digital Experience Monitoring (DEM) According to Gartner"

As the name suggests, Service Desk Optimiser, or SdO, takes the effectiveness and efficiency of Service Desks, and Helpdesks, to another level. It does this by measuring the Digital Employee Experience, or DEX, of Windows® users so that support staff have the insights they need to proactively detect and resolve the DEX issues, that users are facing, quickly and effectively. 

SdO does this with a minimum of intrusion into the user’s privacy while minimising the interruptions to a user’s work flow as deploying SdO minimises, or eliminates, the need for users to spend time on calls with support staff. 

Note: The diagram below shows the SdO Architecture and Sevice Desk integration points 

SdO can transform Servicedesks for Windows Desktops from a reactive to a proactive force within an organization by:

  • Improving the Servicedesk’s existing capabilities by:
    • Reducing ticket volumes and closure times
    • Automatic DEX Performance issues detection and ticket submission for Windows Desktops such as:
      • Remote Desktops
      • Virtual Desktop Servers
      • Physical Workstation Desktops, etc
    • Live reporting and alerting of DEX performance issues 
    • Deep dive DEX performance diagnostics with instrumented User Session Replay
    • Computer hardware and software configuration change history vs changes in DXR values thus forming Computer DXR Histories which are like Medical Records for Computers
    • Management Reports that demonstrate the value and efficiency of the Servicedesk to the organization (e.g. improved productivity through reduced user wait times) 
  • Extending the range of services offered by the Servicedesk beyond problem resolution: 
    • Provide DEX measurement services as part of hardware/software product selection and onboarding capabilities 
    • Determine the effect of Digital Transitions on DEX performance e.g. transitioning from physical to virtual Windows platforms 
    • Management Reports 
      • ROI for the most actively used desktop apps and web apps 
      • Best performing platforms using automated DXR histories 
      • Consequential Cost Estimates

Digital Experience Monitoring (DEM) According to Gartner

“Digital Experience Monitoring (DEM) should include these core capabilities:

• Real user monitoring (RUM), which measures user experience from the perspective of the application (e.g., at a web application level)

• Endpoint monitoring (EP) technologies that provide visibility into end-user devices

• Synthetic transaction monitoring (STM) technologies that have been around for decades and help organizations proactively test services, such as SaaS”

Extract from “Gartner DEM Report 2020 Reprint”.

At its heart, Service Desk Optimiser, or SdO, is a Digital Experience Monitoring (DEM) application which provides Real User Monitoring (RUM) and End Point (EP) monitoring capabilities which complement Synthetic Transaction Monitoring (STM) capabilities.
