Voice ServicesThe problem
In the rush to maximize profits, many National IT providers have turned to a new trend: a conveyor belt of low-paid, underqualified technicians. It’s an assembly line approach, designed to churn out support at the lowest possible cost.
We call it Tech Roulette.
What is tech roulette?
Frustration you can relate to
For your staff, getting support feels more like a struggle than a solution, with the constant need to re-explain issues to different faces. This repeated frustration slows productivity and erodes morale, turning IT support into a burden rather than a strategic partner.
Real world examples
Calling their IT support is like playing tech roulette – you never know if you'll hit the jackpot or go bust.
Tim's issue is repeatedly escalated and reassigned, with each technician suggesting a different generic fix. It takes multiple days of back-and-forth before a qualified engineer takes ownership and properly solves the root issue, resolving the reoccurring issues.
Tim experiences significant downtime, reducing his ability to meet deadlines and perform his job effectively.
Misdiagnosing the root problem leads to loss of work, decreased productivity, and potential data loss, negatively impacting overall business operations.
Repeated failed attempts to fix the issue creates distrust and lack of confidence in the IT provider, resulting in less attempts to ask for help.
After spinning the wheel of tech roulette, my ticket finally landed on someone who knew less than I did.
New employees are left waiting as their equipment setup and account creation requests are shuffled between multiple technicians at the MSP. Each technician handles a piece of the process but misses crucial details, resulting in a prolonged onboarding experience.
New employees are unable to start their tasks promptly, leading to frustration and wasted time.
Delays in getting new employees operational slow down their integration and training, affecting team productivity and morale.
New hires perceive the MSP as unorganized and inefficient right from the start, impacting their initial impression of the company.
After playing tech roulette with my software install, I finally got a link...
Dr. Smith's support ticket is passed through multiple technicians at the MSP, each attempting basic troubleshooting without success. After several frustrating hours and numerous handoffs, the issue remains unresolved, forcing the practice to reschedule his patient's appointment.
Dr. Smith's ability to provide timely care is significantly affected, causing frustration for both the doctor and the patient. The patient's treatment is delayed, potentially worsening their condition and impacting their trust in the healthcare provider.
The delay disrupts the clinic's schedule, leading to a backlog of appointments and potential loss of revenue as patients must be rescheduled.
The clinic staff and patients perceive the MSP as unreliable and inefficient, raising concerns about the overall effectiveness of the clinic's IT support.
Mark lost hope after the 3rd IT support agent asked him to verify an email sent... Which was full circle.
Mark explains his problem to the first technician at the MSP, who then transfers him to another, and another, each time needing to re-explain the issue. Finally, after talking to multiple people at the MSP, a knowledgeable technician steps in and fixes the Microsoft 365 issue in the Tenant Admin Center.
Mark struggles to keep up with emails, causing delays in his work and creating a sense of frustration and inefficiency.
Everyone thinks Mark is sipping margaritas by the pool instead of responding to emails. Communication delays impact Mark's responsiveness to clients and colleagues, potentially affecting business relationships and project coordination.
The need to repeatedly explain the issue makes the MSP seem disorganized and inefficient. Thinks the MSP owner is sipping margaritas and isn't invested in quality service. 🍹
The dreaded assembly line approach
Instead of swift issue resolution, every minor issue turns into a time-consuming ordeal, eating away at your productivity.
Typical MSP Support Workflow:
See 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc.
We all had to start somewhere, but the world has changed. What new risk does your business experience by having super green techs assigned to you?
Because issues are not assigned to an engineer correctly, we just have repeated issues that are multiplied in costs.
Don't worry, the wait times are just whenever we can get 5 min with the only qualified engineer. He's overseeing, well everyone.
New to you, also new to the IT industry. Not sure which is worse.
New techs, new to the industry, and oh, don't know anything about how your business actually functions.
Tech roulette ensures you'll have not only new people who don't know you or your staff, but prior knowledge of your technology walked out the door as well.
Nothing like a good ol workaround. Until the entire business is tied together with shoe strings and bubble gum. Most business owners want to fix problems permanently, not put issues on repeat... forever.
When staff can't work or have technical issues that linger, they often resort to their own solutions, complicating IT having visibility into what is actually being done. e.g., working out of AOL or gmail, using their kids computers to access corporate docs, and on.
When you have tech roultette, nobody is keeping up with the technical debt. This exposes your business to risk that creates a major problem with
