Today’s technologies and reporting packages make it easy to capture copious amounts of performance data. Most support managers can tell you everything from last month’s ticket volume to yesterday’s mean time to resolve. But what does it all mean? If my cycle time goes up, but my cost per ticket goes down, is that good or bad? Is desktop support performing better this month than it was last month?
