• 2. Desk Side :

Deskside technicians provide on-site support for incident resolution when remote support is unable to provide a solution. They provide support for on-site delivery of work products and supplemental support as needed for remote delivery, and provide prompt and professional resolution of IRS end-user incidents and problems. The technicians also provide end-user support, troubleshooting assistance to resolve end-user incidents, and coordinate with other MITS organizations or vendors to resolve end-user incidents. Desk Side support is intended to provide "physical touch" remediation for Hardware and Software incidents when that is required. Nonetheless, there are times when Desk Side technicians can and should use remote tools to remediate an incident that Service Desk was not able to fix. These activities are as described in the previous paragraph.
