Before you started using HaloITSM and Lansweeper together, what problems were you facing?

In terms of a ticketing system, we used a tool that did the basics but it was holding us back from delivering the level of service we wanted to, due to its limitation in functionality. With HaloITSM, we now have access to more extensive functionality that meets all of our needs. Furthermore, we can continue to implement additional features, that are available within the system to further improve our service as we see fit, due to the nature of the HaloITSM package, which is all-inclusive. All that we need to do is to switch it on in the settings tab.

Now moving on to Asset Management – this was a challenging process for us. It was difficult for us to easily obtain end-point information (warranty, purchase date, technical specs, device name, last user login, etc.) without barraging our users with endless questioning. But with Lansweeper, we now have complete and accurate IT asset data. The ability to manage end-point devices from a single page is a very handy feature and gives us a great advantage when working on our day-to-day support requests.

Since we moved over to HaloITSM and Lansweeper, we now have far greater autonomy over our service and have received many complements on the system for its ease of use and modern look. Our technicians love the tool, finding it easier to navigate than previous tools and our end-users are much happier with our service.
