National Wait Times For Information Technology Helpdesk
99% of IT issues can be fixed remotely saving thousands of dallors and cost of hiring more IT techs to be at every location.
The average wait time for IT helpdesk tickets can vary significantly, but a common benchmark is within 4-8 hours for medium to large organizations. Some companies aim for even faster response times, like under 2 hours. Other metrics, like first response time (acknowledging the ticket) and resolution time, are also important and can be much shorter, often within minutes or hours.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Response Time:
Many helpdesks aim for a first response time within a few minutes to acknowledge the ticket. A typical wait time for a response in medium-large organizations can be 4-8 hours. Some aim for under 2 hours, and AI-powered solutions can further reduce this.
Resolution Time:
The time it takes to fully resolve a ticket can vary greatly depending on the complexity of the issue. Some issues may be resolved quickly, while others may take hours or even days.
