Conclusions:
- Deb has assumed primary, but not exclusive, responsibility for answering tickets.
- First Reply Time has increased due to Deb's additional responsibilities in eQUIP & PD, Diane's focus on billing (Q1 & Q2), and Mark's shifting of ZenDesk tasks to the eQUIP team.
- Answering tickets requires a particular skill set.
- We are solving tickets as they come in; New vs. Solved ticket numbers are running quite evenly, which indicates that a backlog, when it occurs, is minor.

Analysis:
Each ticket requires approximately 3 messages/touches from us. This could be reduced by educating PoCs and students on the most efficient way to submit information within tickets. The more details they provide from the start, the fewer questions we need to ask.
One-third of the time, we answer tickets within minutes of receiving them. More than two-thirds of the time, we answer withing one working day.
Data doesn't tell the whole story. Solid working relationships are formed when providing good customer service. Many of these tickets required phone calls, logging in as students, and contact with Curriculum Providers.

Next steps...
- Continue to become more familiar with our technology so that we are prepared with an answer when a problem arises.
- Provide tools, guides, educational resources, etc. for students and administrators that will enable them to recognize and solve common issues. This increases efficiency all around.
- Offer on-site visits to maintain collegial relationships, show our support for students and PoCs, and observe the programs in action.
