As per an Economic Times report, ManageEngine, an enterprise IT division of Zoho recently surveyed over 500 IT professionals to understand the challenges faced by them especially during this time - work from home.
In the survey, it was noted that while they (IT employees) feel essential for business continuity, they also feel underappreciated. “The IT service desk has been at the frontline in the transition to work from home, from setting up laptops, installing virtual private networks and managing IT assets,” said Kumaravel Ramakrishnan, Product Manager, ManageEngine.
“There’s a need for knowledge management so that there are fewer level one tickets and issues can be troubleshooted,” he added.
Highlitening about the biggest challenges faced by them, the surveyed professionals said they were training employees and knowledge management, along with securing data across distributed networks. Among the lot, only 40 percent of the organisation felt that their self-service capability worked effectively.
