Introducing Best Practices Analyzer for Unified Service Desk

Empowering our customers to create successful customer service solutions is among our major goals. Often, customizers rely on solutions, workarounds proposed by the Unified Service Desk community and are in doubt if their approach complies with the best standards. So, we decided to make it easier to validate Unified Service Desk solutions against the best standards. We’re very excited to introduce ‘Best Practices Analyzer’ for Unified Service Desk.

If there’s more than one way to solving a problem, the ones that have worked out very well with many of our customers are what we are calling as best practices.

Best Practices Analyzer helps customizers by finding improper configurations in their USD solutions on three fronts – Unified Service Desk Configurations, Internet Explorer Settings, and System Configurations.

Here are a few points that will help you ramp up with the tool:

How to generate a Report

How to read the Report
