That method for setting up and running an efficient Help Desk department is the meat of Monarch Bay's new manual. It includes information on how to make an informed decision on setting up a Help Desk, how to find the right personnel for the job, how to choose the correct hardware and software, and even how to use advanced statistical reporting to root out problematic hardware and software.

"The more you're thinking about the ways a Help Desk can save your company money while increasing customer and employee satisfaction," says Phillips, "the more you'll want to look at this manual first." Monarch Bay Software should know about Help Desks, too. They're the developers of HelpTrac, a Help Desk software package for streamlining Help Desk operations. "Yes, we do mention HelpTrac in the manual," explains Phillips, "but it's not at all what the manual is about. Our product, HelpTrac, is just one piece of the puzzle. We actually developed the manual," she adds, "through problem-solving conversations with our current users. This manual is a compilation resulting from hundreds of hours of conversations with our clients who are running efficient, money-saving Help Desk departments."

The 45-page manual is available at no charge via CompuServe (74040,1123) to all who request it. For more information, contact Monarch Bay Software, Inc., 1-800-450-6250, PO Box 96126, Houston, TX 77213.
